Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of murder, though
it may be some time before he finds out exactly how long he is set to spend
behind bars.
On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein
overturned Pistorius's culpable homicide conviction and found him guilty of
murder for killing his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
In a fairly brief judgment by Judge Eric Leach, Pistorius
was found to have been indirectly murderous in his actions by firing four shots
into a closed bathroom door when not knowing who or if anyone was behind it.
Pistorius was convicted at the Pretoria High Court last
year of the culpable homicide of Steenkamp, whom he allegedly mistook for an
intruder at his Pretoria East home on Valentine's Day 2013.
