Oscar Pistorius will be released on parole in January next year, but South African police are concerned about the safety of the former Paralympic athlete, who was sentenced in 2017 to 13 years and 5 months in prison for shooting his girlfriend to death in 2013. Authorities have information from the criminal underworld that there are plans to kill the former sprinter. “We have received reports that people are saying he deserves to die for ending the life of such a young woman. South Africa cannot tolerate any more Pistorius-related violence and the police will work hard to ensure his safety.” , explained a police source, cited by ‘The Sun’.

The former Paralympic athlete, aged 37, spent the last few years fearing for his life and in prison he was afraid of being poisoned at the behest of gangsters who would have threatened him. A source told the Daily Mail that Pistorius “started eating beans straight from the can, fearing the food might be poisoned.”
The first rumors of revenge began to circulate when the South African press reported the presence of two men, well known in the criminal underworld, at Pistorius’ trial. The former Paralympic athlete has received numerous threatening messages over the past few years.
Pistorius, who will never be able to touch a firearm again, is willing to become a new man, having dedicated his life to God and helping others. During his time in prison he became a spiritual guide, encouraging other prisoners to pick up the Bible and worship Jesus.
