JOHANNESBURG: South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, who killed his girlfriend 10 years ago, will know in about a month whether he will be released on parole, his lawyer said on Thursday .
Pistorius, 36, shot dead Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 2013 when he fired four times through the bathroom door of his ultra-secure Pretoria house. Pistorius, known worldwide as the"Blade Runner" because of his carbon-fibre prosthetics, was sentenced to 13 years behind bars. A decision is usually known the same day of the parole hearing or a day later, and"if the decision is negative, the offender has the right to approach the courts for review," said Knight.
