Jailed South African Sprinter Oscar Pistorius is set to be freed from prison, next week Tuesday after he was earlier on today, granted him bail from house arrest by a parole board.
Pistorius
was initially due to be freed in August, but following the intervention by the
minister of justice, there were series of delays before today's parole
board decision.
A
spokesperson for the Department of Correctional Services said the
parole board 'approved the placement of offender Oscar Pistorius
under correctional supervision as from 20 October 2015'.
However,
he still faces an appeal in the Supreme Court next month, which if
successful, will upgrade his charge to murder and see him re-jailed
for a minimum of 15 years.
