The Paralympic sprint champion, jailed for murder after shooting his girlfriend Reeva, is on parole and understood to be staying at his uncle's home in Pretoria, South Africa.

Pistorius dubbed the Blade Runner due to his prosthetic limbs - left Atteridgeville Correctional Centre having served over half of his 13 years and five-month sentence.

Reeva's mother June Steenkamp said: "Has there been justice for Reeva? Has Oscar served enough time? There can never be justice if your loved one is never coming back, and no amount of time served will bring Reeva back.

"We, who remain behind, are the ones serving a life sentence."
