Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is to be freed from jail on parole, nearly 11 years after murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
He shot her multiple times through a bathroom door on Valentine’s Day in 2013, later claiming he mistook her for a burglar at their Pretoria home.
Oscar Pistorius, now 37, was sentenced by a South African court in 2016 to serve 13 years and five months in prison. The parole board has set his release for 5 January 2024.
The Department of Correctional Services said once released, he will be monitored by the authorities until his sentence officially expires.
It adds that if he wants to move house or get a job during that time he will have to notify his parole officer.
Mr. Pistorius will also have to attend therapy sessions, according to the Steenkamp family’s spokesman.
In a letter read out to the parole board during Friday’s hearing, Ms Steenkamp’s mother said she did not oppose his release but wondered whether Pistorius’s “huge anger issues” were truly dealt with in prison.
She added that she would be “concerned for the safety of any woman” who now comes into contact with him.
