Oscar Pistorius will be released from jail next week

Oscar Pistorius will be released from jail on Tuesday, it has emerged.

Speaking to AFP recently, his lawyer Brian Webber said the decision had been delayed.He said: "They're going to refer the matter back to the parole board."
He was due to leave prison on August 21, exactly 10 months on from his sentencing.

But Justice Minister Michael Masutha unexpectedly stepped in to halt the move, saying the parole board had acted prematurely by setting the release date.
