South African Judge Thokosile Masipa is today expected to give her verdict at the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius – the athlete could face 25 years in jail.

The Olympic double-amputee sprinter faces 25 years in jail if found guilty of premeditated murder.

He denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year, saying he thought there was an intruder.

The judge could also find him guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, for which he would face a long jail term.
