South Africa parole review delays Pistorius release: local TV
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's parole review board has delayed the release of Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius from prison, where he is serving time for killing his girlfriend, local television station eNCA reported on Monday. Pistorius was due to have been released to house arrest in August after serving 10 months of a five-year sentence. But South Africa's justice minister blocked his release saying procedure had not been followed, and referred the case to the parole review board. There was no immediate confirmation from the parole review board. (Writing by James Macharia; editing by John Stonestreet)
