Oscar Pistorius, now 36, has served half of his 13-year sentence and attended a meeting with his former girlfriend's father as part of South Africa's restorative justice programme last year.
was born with both fibulas missing, which resulted in doctors amputating his legs below the knee at 11 months old.Six months after the operation he was given his first pair of prosthetics - a moment he claims in his autobiography Blade Runner defined the rest of his life.
He did long-distance running, played rugby, and water polo - but at the age of 16 shattered his knee during a rugby game. In 2007 he ran against able-bodied competitors for the first time - a 400m contest in Rome - where he finished second. In November that year he met Reeva Steenkamp through a mutual friend and immediately asked her to be his date for an award ceremony that evening.Reeva Steenkamp was two years older than her then boyfriend.
She did magazine shoots for the likes of FHM, but those close to her described her as"more than a model" - down to earth and not particularly fame hungry. While the prosecution claimed she had gone there to escape him following the argument - Pistorius insisted he didn't hear her get out of bed and mistook her sounds for those of a burglar.
Memorably, the prosecution staged several reconstructions of the night of the murder, which saw Pistorius forced to walk on his stumps around the court room.Bullet holes in the bathroom door from Pistorius's house displayed in court
