Oscar Pistorius has been released on bail after being found guilty of culpable homicide for the death of model Reeva Steenkamp.<br /><br />He is due to be sentenced on October 13 and could face up to 15 years in prison.<br /><br />The 27-year-old double amputee was also ruled to have illegally discharged a firearm in public. <br /><br />But the judge overseeing his trial found him not guilty of numerous other offenses, crucially acquitting him of murder.<br /><br />After the verdict the athlete’s uncle, Arnold Pistorius, took stock of the decision: “A tragic event like this, there’s no victors in this. We as a family remain deeply affected by the devastating tragic event. And it won’t bring Reeva back but our hearts still go out for her family and friends.”<br /><br />Reeva Steenkamp was killed on Valentine’s Day 2013. <br /><br />Pistorius has long maintained he shot her believing she was an intruder.
