Oscar Pistorius to seek an appeal against his conviction

Oscar Pistorius the South African double amputee sprinter is warming up to seek an appeal against his conviction for murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

Ms Steenkamp was on 14^t  February 2013 killed by Pistorius as he fired her four times through a locked toilet door.

A murder verdict was last month initiated in the case to replace the earlier manslaughter verdict which is now overturned. However, his defence team has urged the South African Constitutional Court to review the murder conviction.

The athlete is currently under house arrest according to the earlier court ruling which he is still serving.
