one year of his five-year jail term for killing his girlfriend Reeva
Steenkamp, the South African department of correctional services said
Thursday.
The parole board “approved the placement of offender Oscar Pistorius under correctional supervision as from 20 October 2015,” the department said in a statement.
“The parole board considered all submissions, including the
offender’s profile report, the directives of the Parole Review Board and
the submission of the victim’s family.”
