Pistorius to be moved to house arrest



South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, jailed for killing his girlfriend, is to be released from prison to house arrest on Tuesday.

He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2014 after being found guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter.

He shot Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door but said he thought she was an intruder.

The prosecution has appealed against the verdict, saying he should instead be convicted of murder.
