Oscar Pistorius denied parole for murder of Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius has been denied an early release from prison after his request for parole was rejected.

Pistorius, the former Olympian and Paralympian, became eligible for parole having served more than half of his 13-year sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

But he will remain in prison after authorities determined he had not served enough of his sentence.

The decision was welcomed by Ms Steenkamp's family.
