Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee South African Olympic athlete, was today released from jail on parole, nearly 11 years after he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

South Africa's ex-Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison on parole Friday, almost 11 years after he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in a crime that gripped the world.

At the 2012 London Olympics, before 80,000 roaring fans and a constellation of camera flashes, it took Oscar Pistorius 45.44 seconds to become a global icon.

Oscar Pistorius will have to attend therapy for anger issues as part of his parole conditions, a spokesman for the family of Reeva Steenkamp, who was killed by the ex-Olympic runner, said on Friday.

South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius was granted early release from prison on parole on Friday, a decade after he killed his girlfriend, in a crime that gripped the world, prison authorities said.

South Africa's ex-Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius on Friday sought an early release from prison, a decade after killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, despite her mother telling his parole hearing that he had "not been rehabilitated".

Oscar Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp, a model, in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, firing four times through the bathroom door of his ultra-secure Pretoria house, in a killing that shocked the world.

Pistorius was imprisoned in July last year after being found guilty on appeal of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013.

South African prosecutors argued Friday that Oscar Pistorius' six-year jail sentence for murder must be increased, saying he failed to show genuine remorse after killing his girlfriend.

Oscar Pistorius was treated for injuries at a private hospital and has returned to a South African jail where the Olympian is serving a six-year sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, a prison official said Sunday.

South African prosecutors said they would push for a longer sentence for Oscar Pistorius, describing his six-year jail term for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp as "shockingly too lenient".
