He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2014 after he was found
guilty of culpable homicide or manslaughter, after shooting his
girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, through a locked bathroom door.
Pistorius has spent 12 months in jail and will now spend the rest of
his sentence under what is termed in South Africa as "correctional
supervision".
An earlier decision to release him in August was blocked by South
Africa's Justice Minister, Michael Masutha, saying it had been
made"prematurely".
