The blade runner and paralympic star who killed his girlfriend, Oscar Pistorius will be released from jail on Tuesday according to reports. If he is released, that would mark 12 months since he was sentenced for murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steekamp.

Pistorius, 28, was jailed on October 21 last year for shooting dead Reeva at his home in South Africa on Valentine's Day 2013. Pistorius had told the court the shooting was a mistake after he had mistook her for an intruder. After six months of trial, the Court found him not guilty of murder but guilty of culpable homicide.

 

He was due to leave prison on August 21 but Justice Minister Michael Masutha unexpectedly stepped in to halt the move, saying the parole board had acted prematurely.
