South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, convicted of shooting his girlfriend to death in February 2013, will be released on parole in January, after his partner’s family has not expressed any objections to his release, although they also fear that he will not be rehabilitated. .
Pistorius, 37, will leave prison on January 5, after his previous requests to obtain some type of prison concession were not granted as ten years had not elapsed. A Pretoria court, however, agreed this Friday to release him in just a month and a half, according to the SABC television network.
The victim’s mother, Reeva Steenkamp, participated in the last hearing through a statement read on her behalf – she alleged that she was not prepared to meet Pistorius again – and in which she questioned the capacity of reintegration of the former Paralympic athlete.
He has also once again questioned the version that Pistorius has always maintained, which involves considering that he thought that the person in the bathroom of the house was a thief and not his partner.
On February 14, 2013, Valentine’s Day, the convicted man opened fire four times at Steenkamp through the bathroom door and, despite doubts raised about whether or not he knew the person he was shooting For justice, it was demonstrated that Pistorius was aware that whoever he was could die, which is why he ended up being sentenced to 13 years for the crime of murder.
