Oscar Pistorius Bailed Ahead Of Murder Sentencing

Oscar Pistorius has been granted bail at the High Court in Pretoria as he waits to be sentenced for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.The athlete's initial conviction of culpable homicide (or manslaughter in other countries) was overturned last week by the Supreme Court of Appeal, after five judges unanimously ruled that Judge Thokozile Masipa had made a judgement which was "fundamentally flawed".
With the courts about to go into Christmas recess and no new sentencing date for his murder conviction set, there was confusion about what would happen to Pistorius in the meantime - whether he would remain under house arrest at his uncle's home, in one of Pretoria's most exclusive neighbourhoods.
The runner was granted bail in March 2013, a month after he shot Reeva dead on Valentine's Day at their home.
In October this year, he was released from jail after serving 12 months of his five-year sentence.
