Paralympians Gold medalist Oscar Pistorius will to be released from a South African prison on Friday, 11 years after he killed his model girlfriend.

The double amputee was convicted of murder Reeva Steenkamp after him shot her several times through a locked toilet door with a 9mm pistol on Valentine’s Day at her Pretoria home in 2013.

Apparently now a gray-haired smoker Accordingly, the 37-year-old, who has turned to religion, will begin his new life on probation a few miles from the South African capital behind the high walls of his wealthy uncle’s guarded estate The times.

Pistorius, a gun enthusiast, claimed he thought Ms Steenkamp was a burglar, but was convicted in 2014 of involuntary manslaughter, a crime similar to manslaughter.

He was convicted of aggravated murder in 2015 and later sentenced to 13 years in prison after prosecutors won an appeal on the grounds that his original sentence was too lenient.

Last November, a private parole board hearing at Atteridgeville Prison, where Pistorius reportedly works on a farm and teaches Bible classes, set his release date for January 5, 2024.

After his release, he will have to undergo anger management therapy and will not be allowed to leave the Waterkloof area, where he will live with his uncle, for five years.

According to the Department of Correctional Services (DCS), he is not allowed to consume alcohol or other prohibited substances and is not allowed to conduct interviews with the media.

Pistorius will also be under the supervision of a surveillance officer who must be kept informed as he looks for work opportunities or moves.

The prison declined to provide logistical details surrounding his release Friday.

“Disclosure of such details may pose a safety risk to the inmate and other stakeholders involved. Therefore, DCS must carefully manage this particular risk,” the DCS said.

A journalist and friend of Pistorius, Mark Williams-Thomas, said: “There is still a lot of anger out there and undoubtedly there are those who would love the scalp of Oscar Pistorius.”

Pistorius will live at his uncle’s estate, which is fortified by armed guards, security and dog patrols, intended to provide a high level of protection.

Once rich through sponsorship deals with designer brands like Nike, Pistorius is said to have used his time in prison to learn about the stock market.

Mr Williams-Thomas said it was likely that once his sentence was up he would be able to follow his uncle’s lucrative business network, which includes real estate, farming and tourism.

In the meantime, Mr. Williams-Thomas said, Pistorius could eventually dabble in manual labor and “definitely” in charity work.

Before Pistorius’ parole hearing last year, Ms Steenkamp’s mother June said she did not believe he thought her daughter was an intruder.

She said her child was “screaming for her life” during the murder, which left a “huge hole” for her family. But she also said she forgave Pistorius because she “couldn’t survive if I had to hold on to my anger.”
