Pistorius – the first double-amputee to compete in the Olympics in 2012 – claimed Steenkamp was mistaken for a burglar when he shot her through the bathroom door of his home in Pretoria. This year will be Pistorius' second release on parole after he was convicted of culpable homicide in October 2014. He served over a year behind bars before his sentence was converted to correctional supervision outside prison.

In July 2016, he was sentenced to six years in prison. Click 'read more' to see more entertainment scandals. |
