South Africa’s Constitutional Court has ruled that convicted killer Oscar Pistorius has served more than half his sentence for the 2013 murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, which means he is technically eligible for parole.

It found that the former athlete, also known as the “Blade Runner”, passed the halfway mark on 21 March this year.

Pistorius was sentenced to six years in 2016, but that sentence was increased to 13 years and five months in 2017.
