Oscar Pistorius to be released

Oscar Pistorius, the South African amputee sprinter who shot dead his girlfriend, is set to be freed on parole in August after serving just 10 months in jail. Pistorius, who became a global hero after competing in both the Paralympics and Olympics, claimed he mistook Reeva Steenkamp for an intruder when he fired four shots through a locked bathroom door on Valentine’s Day in 2013.The 28-year-old athlete was found guilty last year of culpable homicide — a charge equivalent to manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.
