An arrest warrant for Oscar Pistorius has reportedly been issued by South African authorities, one day after the Paralympic champion was convicted on appeal of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
On Friday AEST, the Supreme Court upgraded the Pistorius' original five-year sentence from "culpable homicide" -- the nation's version of manslaughter -- to murder.
