South African paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius will be sentenced on July 6 for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
The double-amputee's manslaughter conviction was overturned last year by an appeals court, which convicted Pistorius of the more serious charge of murder.
The date for Oscar Pistorius' sentencing for the murder of former girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp has been set for July 6.
It comes as the Paralympian appeared in court with his lawyer today to argue that he deserves leniency when he is sentenced.
The double-amputee was initially handed a manslaughter conviction over Reeva's 2013 death but this was overturned last year by an appeals court, which convicted Pistorius of the more serious charge of murder.
The cousin of Reeva Steenkamp has told Oscar Pistorius' sentencing trial that she didn't believe Reeva loved Oscar.
Carl Pistorius has broken his family's silence in an interview with ITV News.
The disgraced athlete should learn his fate by the end of the week - ending years of legal twists and turns.
