The former Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius as been released from prison in South Africa on Monday and was immediately placed under house arrest, Correctional Services spokesman Manelisi Wolela said.

He had been in prison since October last year, when a judge sentenced him to five years for culpable homicide in the killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013. He said he mistook her for an intruder. Last week a South African parole board said it had approved his placement under house arrest and correctional supervision for four years.
