Oscar Pistorius was convicted of murder in 2014.

Nearly eleven years after the fatal shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, ​​former South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius was released on parole from prison on Friday.

However, for “security reasons”, prison authorities have not announced a time or other logistical details for his release. According to authorities, the ex-athlete, like all other parolees, is not allowed to give interviews.

Several shots fired through the bathroom door

The disabled athlete, known at the time as the ‘Blade Runner’ because of his prosthetic lower legs, killed his girlfriend with several shots through the bathroom door of his high-security home on the night of Valentine’s Day 2013.

In 2014, he was initially sentenced to five years in prison for the manslaughter of his girlfriend. After objections from the Public Prosecution Service, he was ultimately sentenced by the Supreme Court in 2017 to 13 years and five months in prison for murder. (AFP)
