2013: Oscar Pistorius kills his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp
 

On 14 February 2013, South African model Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius. 
 

Pistorius – the first double-amputee to compete in the Olympics in 2012 – claimed Steenkamp was mistaken for a burglar when he shot her through the bathroom door of his home in Pretoria. 
 

This year will be Pistorius' second release on parole after he was convicted of culpable homicide in October 2014. 
 

He served over a year behind bars before his sentence was converted to correctional supervision outside prison. However, the State then lodged an appeal with the appeals court in Bloemfontein and in December 2015, Oscar's culpable homicide conviction was overturned, and he was convicted of murder. 
 

In July 2016, he was sentenced to six years in prison.

The former Top Gear presenter on Monday apologised for a much-criticised column he wrote in The Sun tabloid saying he hated Prince Harry's wife Meghan.

The breakfast show presenter said he opted to take the bold step as "this is the time for action" and "we need to be decisive".

However thrilling they are to play, video games rarely translate well to the big or small screen - indeed, the crossover genre is littered with flops.

Nokeri made the top 16 of Miss Universe on Saturday, which saw India's Harnaaz Sandhu crown her successor, USA's R'Bonney Gabriel.

Showmax released the freaky first trailer for the second season of Dam on Monday, and if you're still traumatised from the season 1 ending, you're in for a treat.
