A South African court on Friday struck down athlete Oscar
Pistorius' bid to block prosecutors from appealing the culpable homicide
verdict handed down against him, in favour of a murder conviction, for killing
his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The Olympic and Paralympic track star is currently serving a
five year prison sentence after being convicted in October of culpable homicide
after a seven-month trial. A murder conviction might see him jailed for at
least 15 years.
