Oscar Pistorius will not be released early from his 13-year-five-month jail sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, a parole board has decided.

The former Olympic and Paralympic athlete, known as the Blade Runner, had applied for parole after serving half of his jail term.

Earlier, the mother of Reeva Steenkamp said Pistorius was “not remorseful or rehabilitated” ahead of the hearing.
