South African Olympian Oscar Pistorius who was convicted for shooting his Girlfriend may be release and placed on house arrest in August.
The Olympian was jailed for five years last year after being convicted of the manslaughter of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp but new development under South African law suggest he will be eligible for parole in two months, and if granted release he would serve the rest of his sentence at home.
However, the 28-year-old athlete's case is scheduled to go in front of South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal again in November, the court confirmed today, as prosecutors plan to challenge the decision to acquit him of murder.
