Remember Oscar Pistorius? The Olympic and Paralympic
athlete that is jailed for killing his girlfriend, well he is
to be released from prison to house arrest next Tuesday, a
South African parole board has confirmed.
He was sentenced to five years in prison for culpable
homicide or manslaughter.
He fired four 9mm shots through a locked bathroom door
that killed his law graduate and model girlfriend, Reeva
Steenkamp. He subsequently told the court that he
thought she was an intruder.
Pistorius has spent 12 months in jail and will now spend
the rest of his sentence under what is termed in South
Africa “correctional supervision”, the parole board said
as quoted by BBC
