Oscar Pistorius May Be Released on Parole This Friday

Convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius may be going home soon.  The athlete might be released from prison on parole this week if the hearing goes in his favour.

Oscar Pistorius was imprisoned in 2014 after he was found guilty of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s day in 2013.

Pistorius fired atleast four shots through the bathroom door and killed Steenkamp. The judge sentenced him to 13 years in prison.

The athlete has served half of his sentence thus making him eligible for parole. His parole hearing will be heard before the parole board on Friday the 31st of March 2023.

Meanwhile Reeva’s parents June and Barry Steenkamp are against Oscar’s parole. They want him to serve his full prison sentence.
