Jailed sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been released from prison under the cover of darkness after serving just a year for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
The Paralympian was freed under house arrest a day earlier than planned and is now expected to spend the remainder of his five-year sentence at his uncle's palatial home in Pretoria.
At dawn, a van delivered a handful of security guards to be stationed at the gate of the three-storey villa, which is now flanked by satellite trucks, photographers and reporters who had started to gather hours before sunrise.
His uncle Arnold is due to give a statement outside the house at this morning.
