The paralympian will be released on Tuesday.
Oscar Pistorious will be released on parole from a South African prison next week.
Pistorious was convicted of the manslaughter of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, after shooting her dead in his home on Valentine’s Day 2013.
He was sentenced to five years in prison and was initially set to be released on parole on August 21, a move which was blocked by the justice minister of South Africa.
However, according to The Telegraph, that decision has now been changed and Pistorious will leave jail on correctional supervision on October 20.
In a statement, the South African department of correctional services said:
“[The board] approved the placement of offender Oscar Pistorius under correctional supervision as from 20 October 2015.
“The parole board considered all submissions, including the offender’s profile report, the directives of the Parole Review Board and the submission of the victim’s family.”
