Relieved Oscar Pistorius to know final verdict on October 13

By Chrysanthus Ikeh

South African Paralympian, Oscar Pistorius, who was found guilty of culpable homicide  in the killing of his late girlfriend, Reva Steenkamp in his home last year’s February will remain on bail ahead of his sentencing.

The 27- year- old sportsman who admitted being responsible for the death of his model girlfriend at his home in Pretoria, said he mistook his partner for intruders and fired four bullets from his 9mm pistol through the toilet cubicle during cross examination, will appear in court again onMonday, October 13, 2014.

Judge Thokozile Masipa delivered the verdict the morning early Friday at the trial court in Pretoria, South Africa, which clearly relieved Pistorius and members of his family as he escapes sentencing for the critical premeditated murder charge.
