| Oscar Pistorius |
The South African Olympic and Paralympics athlete, Oscar
Pistorius, has been released from Prison and put under house arrest nearly one
year after he was jailed for killing his girlfriend.
He is expected to spend the remainder of a five-year prison
sentence at his uncle’s home in Pretoria.
Pistorius, 28, shot Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom
door but said he thought she was an intruder.
Ms Steenkamp’s relatives say they think Pistorius is “getting
off lightly”.
Oscar Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide, or
manslaughter, in October last year.
A case lodged by the prosecution appealing that decision is
due to be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal on 3 November. State prosecutors
say Pistorius should have instead been convicted of murder.
