However, on the proceedings in Pretoria, officers mentioned he had really not served the minimal requirement to get parole. Officers mentioned there was some type of miscalculation of when his formal sentencing really started, and the listening to would must be pushed.

Pistorius now should wait till August 2024 to reapply for the early launch.

Steenkamp’s dad and mom attended the listening to to argue Pistorius ought to stay in jail. In keeping with Sky Information, Steenkamp’s mother, June, advised reporters outdoors of the venue that she believed the 36-year-old was not remorseful for his actions.
