Oscar Pistorius has been denied the right to appeal his murder conviction, South Africa’s Constitutional Court has ruled.
The ruling means Pistorius will be sentenced for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp in April. He faces a possible minimum 15-year jail sentence.
Pistorius killed Steenkamp by firing four times through a locked toilet door at his house in February 2013.
In December, his conviction for manslaughter was overturned and replaced with a murder verdict when South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that a lower court had not applied the rule of dolus eventualis – whether Pistorius knew that a death would be a likely result of his actions – in the correct fashion.
