Prosecutors seek Pistorius murder verdict
(MENAFN- Arab News) PRETORIA: South African prosecutors on Monday filed an appeal calling for Paralympian star Oscar Pistorius to be convicted of murder for killing his girlfriend just days before he is due to be released from prison.
Pistorius has spent less than a year behind bars since being convicted in a sensational trial on the lesser charge of culpable homicide and is expected to leave jail on Friday for a form of house arrest.
But the 28-year-old could soon be back in prison if prosecutors are successful in their argument in the appeal court that he should have been convicted of murder rather than culpable homicide a charge equivalent to manslaughter. If they win their case which is expected to be heard in November Pistorius could face at least 15 years in jail.
