Pistorius , 28, was convicted last year of culpable homicide
for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. He was
acquitted of a murder charge after arguing he mistook his lover for an intruder
and shot her four times through a closed door.

Just 10months? No wonder a lot of killing happens in South Africa.
