Well wishers showed their support with flowers, as good luck messages began pouring in to the Pistorius mansion on Friday. A huge bouquet costing \u00a340 and with carnations, roses and sunflowers with a welcome home card with ‘Oscar Pistorius’ written on it was delivered to security guards at the gates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor the foreseeable future the man known to his family as ‘Ozzie’ will live with his paternal uncle, property tycoon Arnold, who raised him and his siblings after the death of their mother in 2002 and their estrangement from their own father, Henke.
Arnold has offered Pistorius a luxury cottage in the landscaped grounds of his \u00a32 million, three-storey home \u2014 a 12-bedroom converted church on a gated estate up in the hills of Pretoria’s upmarket Waterkloof suburb with an indoor cinema, gym and outdoor pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was here that Pistorius, who is said to have become a devout Christian while in prison and encouraged fellow inmates to read the Bible and worship Jesus, stayed while on bail in the aftermath of Reeva’s murder and while awaiting trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is now said to be a chain-smoker, bloated and grey, and almost unrecognisable from the super-fit athlete who the year before he killed Reeva was named as South Africa’s best-dressed man by GQ magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arnold’s home, which has a front gatehouse, is surrounded by razor wire and an electric fence. As well as a sign indicating the name of the house, Bateleur \u2014 a type of African eagle that preys on snakes \u2014 blue and yellow placards ward off potential intruders with the warning ‘ADT Rapid Response’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pistorius’s cottage has also been fitted with panic alarms. His uncle, the patriarch of the vastly wealthy Pistorius family, is said to have hired extra armed guards and bought attacks dogs to ensure his nephew is safe. The ex-athlete’s former headteacher, Bill Schroder, who visited him in prison on several occasions, has previously said that he feared being released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘He spoke of his fears about how he will be treated by the public when he is out, as he knows those who support him, but he knows there are many others who don’t,’ Schroder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, nearly 11 years after he brutally killed Reeva, there are fears that Pistorius could be the target of revenge attacks by criminal figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such fears were first raised during his trial when his lawyers alleged that a prison gang leader had threatened to ‘take out’ Pistorius if he was given preferential treatment in jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOscar Pistorius of South Africa competes in the men’s 200m T44 heat at the Olympic Stadium during the London 2012 Paralympic Games on September 1, 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOscar Pistorius of South Africa celebrates after winning the final of the men’s 200 metre T44 classification event at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDuring his trial, two notorious underworld figures appeared in the public gallery. One of them, Marc Batchelor, a former footballer who alleged that Pistorius had threatened to break his legs during a row over a girl, was shot dead five years later in a gangland hit. Another, who made regular appearances in court was self-confessed contract killer Mikey Schultz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pistorius was first incarcerated in Kgosi Mampuru II in Pretoria, a maximum security prison which houses some of South Africa’s most violent criminals and is ruled by ruthless gangs. But because of his fame, and fears he would be attacked, he was placed in the prison’s hospital wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just four months into his sentence it emerged that he was surviving on tinned food from the prison tuck shop for fear of being poisoned. He was said to have lost so much weight that his prosthetic limbs no longer fitted him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017 he was injured during a fight with another inmate over a prison telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as watching his back as he enjoys his first taste of freedom, Pistorius will have to take part in programmes on gender-based violence and continue to attend anger management counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A female sports journalist who went to interview Pistorius at home on Valentine’s Day 2012 \u2014 exactly a year to the day before he shot Reeva \u2014 told me this week that when she met the former athlete, he seemed to her a man ‘on the edge’, who was friendliness personified one minute and then furiously bad-tempered the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘He was absolutely wired when I met him,’ says the journalist who, with a photographer, spent a day and half with Pistorius in Pretoria after he had met the qualifying ‘A’ standard to run in the 400 metres at the 2012 Olympic Games in London that July as well as the Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He later became the first amputee runner to compete in the Games and carried the South African flag in the closing ceremony. He also won gold in the Paralympic 400m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘He was constantly swigging from caffeine drinks or drinking coffee because he was trying to get his weight down. There were packets of caffeine pills in his car. He was on edge all the time.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She recalls how Pistorius, whose lower limbs were amputated as a baby due to a birth defect, drove around Pretoria’s leafy suburbs in his black BMW like a racing driver. A painting of the Rebel Without A Cause actor James Dean hung on the wall of his home, where empty beer bottles were scattered around the open-plan sitting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBritish-born June Steenkamp (seen left in 2014 consoling her husband Barry) told Mail Online how Pistorius, 37, not only took Reeva from her but how she also blames the runner for her husband’s later death – and believes he killed her dream of having grandchildren<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJune Steenkamp, mother of the late Reeva Steenkamp listens to evidence by a pathologist during the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius in court in Pretoria, South Africa, on April 7, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nProsthetic legs sit inside the prison cell inside the Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA view of the prison cell of Oscar Pistorius inside the Kgosi Mampuru II prison, in Pretoria. Family photos are seen framed above his bed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n‘He certainly liked to party,’ she says. ‘I remember wondering how on earth he was going to be in shape in time for the Olympic Games.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At his home \u2014 the home where a year later he would kill Reeva \u2014 he kept two fierce-looking dogs. When Pistorius realised that the journalist was afraid of the bull terrier and American pit bull, he pointed out one of them and told her: ‘The last journalist who came here, he ripped their toenail off. There was blood everywhere.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At another point during their encounter, Pistorius lost his temper out of nowhere, swearing prolifically. ‘He properly flew off the handle,’ she says, ‘but then later on he was over-the-top nice and greeted me like a long-lost friend. I thought he was unhinged. I instinctively disliked him.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messages found on Reeva’s phone after her death revealed that she was also deeply disturbed by Pistorius’s frequent tantrums. In one text sent to him just weeks before her brutal death she wrote: ‘I’m scared of you.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June Steenkamp, who launched The Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation in the wake of her daughter’s death to empower women against violence, is in no doubt that Reeva was in fear the night she died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘I believe that Reeva wanted to leave him that night and ran to the toilet in fear to hide from him. The evidence in court leaves me with no doubt that he knew it was Reeva behind the toilet door when he fired four black talon bullets through the door,’ she told the Mail this week. ‘Those bullets explode when they hit human flesh. He knows guns, and he knew what those bullets would do to my beautiful daughter. He knew it would kill her.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pistorius, who regularly visited a shooting range near his home, made no secret of the guns and crickets bats he kept at his luxury bachelor pad home. When interviewing him there in 2012, a sports journalist from this newspaper saw the 9mm pistol Pistorius kept next to his bed and what looked like a semi-automatic rifle by the bedroom window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked why they were needed when there were already guards outside his home, Pistorius replied: ‘It’s when the guards are in on the burglary that you need the guns.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his trial in 2014, Pistorius was portrayed as irresponsible and trigger-happy by the prosecution. A month before he killed Reeva, he let off a friend’s gun under a table in a restaurant in Pretoria, leaving a hole in the floor and grazing another friend’s foot. On another occasion, he fired a gun through a moving car’s sunroof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reeva’s uncle, Mike, says that from the moment Pistorius is free ‘everybody will be watching to see what happens as his life goes forward. It’s up to him now.’<\/p>\n\n\n\nSouth African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius arrives at the Pretoria High Court for sentencing procedures in his murder trial in Pretoria on June 15, 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPistorius leaves the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, on October 15, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn the meantime, the family want to deal with what they see as a terrible affront by focusing on the work of the Foundation they set up in Reeva’s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking after his release yesterday, Reeva’s mother June said: ‘Oscar Pistorius’s release on parole, subject to certain conditions, has affirmed Barry’s and my belief in the South African justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘The conditions imposed by the parole board, which includes anger management courses and programmes on gender-based violence, send out a clear message that gender-based violence is taken seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Has there been justice for Reeva? Has Oscar served enough time? There can never be justice if your loved one is never coming back, and no amount of time served will bring Reeva back. We, who remain behind, are the ones serving a life sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘With the release of Oscar Pistorius on parole, my only desire is that I will be allowed to live my last years in peace, with my focus remaining on the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation, to continue Reeva’s legacy.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a sentiment that Mike fully supports. ‘We want to concentrate on other people who need help in life,’ he tells me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
