		</div><p>Oscar Pistorius has been denied the right to appeal against his murder conviction over the shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.</p>
<p>The ruling by South Africa&#8217;s Constitutional Court clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18.</p>
<p>Defence lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the court&#8217;s decision and said: &#8220;We&#8217;ll proceed to the sentencing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pistorius, who killed Ms Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the highest court, saying another court was mistaken when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder.</p>
<p>The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence in exceptional circumstances.</p>
<p>Pistorius is currently under house arrest.</p>
