South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been jailed for five years for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Judge Thokozile Masipa, issuing the ruling in court in Pretoria, also gave Pistorius a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.
The prosecution had called for a minimum 10-year sentence; the defence for community service and house arrest.
Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide but cleared of murder.

Abey 5 yrs is too small. He just wasted the young model!
Only? It is too small !
Justice was not served, he deserves at least 10 years.
That judge was too lenient, he deserved more, at least 10 years.
5 years for a life wasted! He is a lucky bastard. In UK he would serve at least 15 years, in US he would serve life in prison.
