PISTORIUS BAILED AHEAD OF SENTENCING

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been granted bail while he awaits sentencing for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

That hearing is due to take place next year on 18 April after his conviction was changed from manslaughter to murder.

He's had to hand over his passport and will be under house arrest and will be electronically tagged, but can leave the house at times.

He is facing a minimum 15 year sentence.

But a South African court agreed he could spend Christmas at home with his family before sentencing takes place.

IN: "The applicant…

OUT: …the house."
DUR: 30 seconds
