|||Johannesburg - The National Prosecuting Authority has issued an arrest warrant for Paralympian Oscar Pistorius.
This comes after the NPA said it was trying to bring Pistorius before court urgently for a sentencing date to be set after the Supreme Court of Appeal overturned High Court Judge Thokozile Masipa's judgement of culpable homicide to that of murder on Thursday.
The former Paralympian sprinter was released from prison in October after serving less than a year of the five-year sentence Masipa imposed.
Pistorius was to see out the remainder under correctional supervision and is under house arrest at his uncle’s home in Pretoria.
Oscar Pistorius has been convicted of murder after he shot and killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013.
