"Oscar Pistorius: Paralympian's Release from Prison Marks End of a Tragic Saga"

Oscar Pistorius, the South African former Paralympic champion known as "Blade Runner," is set to be released on parole after serving nearly nine years of his sentence for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in 2013. Pistorius, who made history by competing in the Olympics as a double amputee, will live under strict conditions, including therapy for anger management and attending sessions on gender-based violence. His parole comes after serving more than half of his term, with a monitoring official to oversee him until his sentence ends in December 2029.
