Athlete Oscar Pistorius was denied his parole request on Friday. After being sentenced for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on March 3, 2014, the former Paralympic champion asked to be released early following serving half of his prison sentence.
He will remain in jail. The request for parole of the former South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, convicted of the murder of his partner Reeva Steenkamp, was refused on Friday March 31, we learned from the lawyer for the family of the victim.
“I don’t know on what grounds the request was refused, we were only informed that it had been refused and that it would be reviewed in a year,” Tania Koen told AFP. A hearing before an ad hoc committee was held in the morning and was to inform the lawyers of the two parties following deliberation.
