Oscar Pistorius Released From Prison, Under House Arrest

Oscar Pistorius was released from prison in South Africa Monday and
placed under house arrest, Correctional Services spokesman Manelisi
Wolela said.

The former Olympic athlete had been in prison since October last year,
when a judge sentenced him to five years for culpable homicide in the
killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius shot the model and law school graduate on Valentine's Day
2013. He has said he mistook her for an intruder.

Last week a South African parole board said it had approved his
placement under house arrest and correctional supervision for four
years.

'Nothing will bring Reeva back'.
