Oscar Pistorius has been jailed for five years for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine’s Day last year.
His defence team said he would spend a sixth of the term in prison – 10 months – before being placed under house arrest for the remainder of his sentence.
But Nathi Mncube, a spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, said he was likely to serve one third of the sentence behind bars, before adding “it’s not for the NPA to decide”.
