South African former Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, who was jailed in 2014 for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, will stand for parole hearing on Friday and may get another chance for an early release.
Known as the ‘Blade Runner’ for his carbon-fibre prosthetic legs, Pistorius went from a public hero as a paralympic champion to a convicted killer in hearings that caught the world’s attention a decade ago.
Pistorius shot and killed Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
