South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who went to jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, has been released on parole.
After 11 years behind bars, the athlete was officially released back into the world as of Friday. South Africa’s Department of Correctional Services confirmed as much in a statement, noting: If you don’t recall, Oscar killed his 29-year-old partner on February 14, 2013.
After shooting through the bathroom door at their home in Pretoria four times, the bullets killed the model and law school graduate.
The double-amputee, known as “Blade Runner” because of his prosthetic legs, pleaded not guilty. During his trial, he insisted that he thought there was an intruder in the home.
