Paralympian Oscar Pistorius: Ex-Paralympian Oscar Pistorius has been released on parole from a South African jail, after serving nine years in prison for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius shot Reeva through the locked bathroom door of his mansion in Pretoria on Valentine's Day 2013, later saying he had mistaken her for a burglar.

The decision to grant him parole was made last November, The Guardian reported.
