Oscar Pistorius denied parole

Disgraced South African Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was denied parole on Friday, according to local authorities who said he has yet to complete his minimum sentence.

Oscar Pistorius, once hailed as a sporting hero, has been serving a prison sentence since 2014 for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Despite his legal team's efforts to secure his early release, the parole board has ruled that Pistorius must remain behind bars until he has served a specific portion of his sentence.

This decision comes as a blow to Pistorius, who has been hoping to be granted parole and reintegrate into society. However, the parole board has emphasized the importance of completing the minimum sentence as a means of ensuring justice is served.
