Watch a view from outside the prison that held a parole hearing for Oscar Pistorius on Friday 31 March.
The board decided that the former paralympic athlete cannot be released from prison a decade after killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by shooting her multiple times through a toilet door in his home.
Ahead of the hearing, Barry and June Steenkamp, the parents of Reeva, said they opposed Pistorius’ release.
“He is a murderer. He should remain in jail,” Mr Steenkamp said in an interview with the Daily Mail, published last month on the 10th anniversary of his daughter’s killing.
Pistorius, behind bars for almost seven years, became eligible for parole after serving half of his 13-year prison sentence.
