Abstract

Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic gold medalist, has been granted parole for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in South Africa in 2013. Pistorius shot Steenkamp in his home, claiming he mistook her for an intruder. After a series of appeals, his sentence was ratified to 13 years and five months. The parole will be effective from January 5, and Pistorius will be supervised until his sentence expires. Pistorius, who was born without fibula in both legs and is a double-amputee, won six Paralympic gold medals and competed at the Olympic Games in 2012. [Extracted from the article]
