Oscar Pistorius released on parole and at home 11 years after murdering Reeva Steenkamp – live

He is admitted to the system of community corrections and is now at home, said South Africa’s Correctional Services Department.

The double amputee was convicted of murdering Steenkamp after he shot her multiple times through a locked toilet door with a 9mm pistol on Valentine’s Day at their Pretoria home in 2013.

Now reportedly a grey haired smoker who has turned to religion, the 37-year-old will begin his new life on parole a few miles away from the South African capital behind the high walls of his wealthy uncle’s guarded property.
