		</div><p>Former Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius will face sentencing for murder in June.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old faces a lengthy prison term after a South African appeals court overturned an earlier conviction of manslaughter and found him guilty of murder for his shooting of Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013.</p>
<p>The South African double amputee sprinter&#8217;s agent, Peet van Zyl, told Press Association Sport on Wednesday he expects sentencing to be from June 13-17.</p>
<p>Pistorius insisted he thought his girlfriend was an intruder behind a toilet door in his home and was initially found guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter.</p>
<p>However, that verdict was upgraded by South Africa&#8217;s Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein in December.</p>
<p>A 15-year prison sentence is the minimum punishment for murder in South Africa.<br />
However, the law allows for a lesser sentence to be imposed in exceptional circumstances and the time already served by Pistorius will likely be taken into account.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Blade Runner&#8217; was released in October 2015 after serving less than a year of his original five-year sentence, with the remainder to be completed under house arrest.</p>
