Former South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, 37, was granted conditional release on Friday, effective from January 5, ten years after the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
“The Department of Correctional Services confirms the conditional release of Mr. Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius, effective January 5, 2024,” the prison administration said in a statement, following the deliberations of an ad hoc committee in a prison near Pretoria where the athlete is detained.
