Paralympian Oscar Pistorius jail term increased to 13 years

South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal has extended the prison sentence of Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius to 13 years and five months for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius had been handed a six-year jail term after he was found guilty of murder on appeal last year. He had previously been sentenced to five years for manslaughter.
