Sentence for pistorius increased for shooting of girlfriend in 2013

Oscar Pistorius's prison sentence for murdering his girlfriend has been more than doubled to 13-years and 5 months.

The former Olympian and Paralympian was given six years for shooting Reeva Steenkamp dead in 2013. South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal says he should have got 15 - but has taken into account time already served. Legal commentator Llewelyn Curlewis says that's more appropriate.
