June Steenkamp, the mother of Reeva Steenkamp, has bemoaned the release of Oscar Pistorius after nine years of imprisonment, saying that her family will bear the scars caused by her murder long after the disgraced South African Paralympic gold medalist has been freed.
South Africa's former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius - who was jailed for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp - will be barred from drinking alcohol or giving media interviews when he is released on parole on Friday, the prison department has said.
Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is to be freed from jail on parole, nearly 11 years after murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He shot her multiple times through a bathroom door on Valentine's Day in 2013, later claiming he mistook her for a burglar at their Pretoria home.
