South African paralympian, Oscar Pistorius has reportedly been freed from prison after serving just 12 months of a five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
The 28 year old sportsman, as at the time of this post is now at his uncle’s mansion where he will see out the rest of the term under house arrest.
According to reports, he will be required to meet Steenkamp’s parents Barry and June “if and when they agree to meet him”, said correctional services minister Michael Masutha.
Mr and Mrs Steenjamp had appealed against the double-amputee’s early release under correctional supervision but did not make further representations to the parole board that authorised his release last week.

Daniel Makanjuola, a 26-year-old banker has been nabbed for allegedly using a cloned West African Senior School Certificate, WASCE, and Lagos State University’s statement of result to secure employment at the Wema Bank Plc, Marina branch, on the Lagos Island.
The police revealed Makanjuola had paraded himself as a degree holder in marketing with Second Class, Upper Division, before his arrest.
He was also said to have tendered a forged National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate and a reference letter to the bank. He claimed to have obtained the letter from United Bank for Africa, his purported former workplace.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspect, who hails from Ijero Local Government Area in Ekiti State, had joined the bank in 2013, before he was sacked in July 2015 after the documents were confirmed to be fake.
It was gathered that the fraudulent act was discovered after the management sent a letter to the UBA to verify the genuineness of the reference letter. The UBA was said to have denied knowledge of Makanjuola and the letter.
Punch later learnt that the discovery prompted the bank to write West African Examinations Council and LASU, which also disclaimed the results. The suspect was arrested after the case was reported at the Lion Building Police Station.
The bank’s Public Relations Officer, Emela Esohe, said Makanjuola owned up to the act before a disciplinary committee. The suspect, in a statement he made to the police, also confessed to the crime and explained how he obtained the forged certificates.
He said he resorted to the act to alleviate the poverty in his family, adding that it was one Vincent who helped him to get the reference letter.
He said:
“I am actually a National Diploma holder. I secured the fake WASCE and LASU results, using a search engine and CorelDraw application. I scanned an NYSC certificate and used some applications to edit it. I did it in order to put an end to the suffering of my poor family. I am the only son of my father. I want the authority to be compassionate with my case. I was only trying to live a better life. ”
A police prosecutor, Inspector I. Okeke, arraigned Makanjuola at a Tinubu Magistrate’s Court on three counts of forgery.
A bride from California has distributed her wedding reception with dozens of homeless people after her fiance called off their nuptials at the last minute.
27 year-old Quinn and her family, from Sacramento in the United States, were shocked when her husband-to-be decided not to go through with the event, but quickly saw the opportunity to give back to the community.
Deposits for the $35,000 wedding were already paid and more bills were coming due. The bride’s mother Kari Duane told KCRA News:
“When I found out on Monday that the wedding would not be taking place, it just seemed like, of course, this would be something that we would do to give back,”
Duane found herself in a banquet hall at Sacramento’s Citizen Hotel filled with the city’s homeless on Saturday.
“When you’re going through a hard time and a struggle for you to get out to do something different and with your family, it was really a blessing,” Abdullah said.
His wife, Erika Craycraft, had the Duane family top of mind. Their charity means the world to her, she said:
“To lose out on something so important to yourself and then give it to someone else is really giving, really kind,” Craycraft said.
There was plenty to go around as 120 guests were invited before the wedding got canceled.
“This is not coming out of our kitchen. We love our chef Leo, but he wouldn’t be preparing nothing like this,
homeless mother Tamara Dotson said of the food served at the shelter.
While there are many full stomachs and smiles, the night is still painful for the Duanes. The bride-to-be chose to stay home with friends.
“I feel a lot of heartache and heartbreak for her, but I will take away something good from this, I will,” Kari Duane said.

Updates on the story of a man who died after he continuously bit a passenger on board Aer Lingus Flight have emerged.
It’s being revealed newly that a number of ‘packages’ have been recovered from the man’s body. The Mirror discloses an autopsy on the 24-year-old Brazilian’s body has been completed and the packages were sent for forensic analysis.
The man had to be restrained after it was claimed he became ‘extremely violent’, before he fell unconscious and died.
John Leonard who was traveling on flight EI-485 from Lisbon to Dublin on Sunday when the Brazilian man took ill and allegedly bit another passenger said:
“He was actually on the ground shaking violently. The noise he was making was like something I have never heard before. It’s not something you’d hear everyday. It was like deep anguish is the best way I could describe it, very, very troubled. Not screaming in a sense, you know if you’d hurt yourself or something, just very guttural, from deep within him.”
Mr Leonard added that it was a “very violent end”.
He said:
“To die that way in the back of an aeroplane, it’s not right.”It was not very pleasant at all.”

He explains he had two kids as a lesbian woman and now has one with his present wife.
In his own words:
Okay, so I get numerous & numerous questions about how my children came about and if their father is still around. So I have decided to share that with you in this post** I knew I always wanted kids but I also knew that would be hard because I, at the time, was living as a masculine lesbian and I knew there was something not right with my body, but I also knew I wanted to take advantage of the body I was given so I could have children of my own to give to the things I didn’t have. A very good male friend of mine at that time offered his “goods” knowing the life I lived. I accepted, and in turn, got my 2 beautiful blessings.
He has been in and out of their life due to choices he’s made… and now he’s not in their life at all. I know that I am not their biological father and I never intended to take that spot because my children know who he is… But I will ALWAYS be the Daddy they need and I was so lucky to find a woman that willingly took the Mommy role and is the best mommy ever. My children will have questions one day, I’m sure, and I will be ready for them because I will be able to tell them that no matter what, “I love you more than I ever thought I could love anybody and no matter what Daddy was here!”
A man has reportedly been murdered a week after he posted an image of his wife on Facebook with $60k in her hands.
Tony Harris, a 50-year-old electronics repairman showed his wife, Amber Crane, last week, grinning up at the camera, clutching thick stacks of cash in both hands. More money sat piled in her lap.
“I misplaced $60,000.00. I hope my wife didn’t go shopping with it,” the caption joked.
Precisely a week later, at about 11:30 at night, police said, three young men walked into his home on the 1100 block of South Ruby Street in Kingsessing, where he has lived for decades, where he always kept his door unlocked, according to Philly.com.
Two confronted Harris in the living room, where his two youngest children were sitting on the couch Monday night.
One held a gun to his wife’s head in the kitchen:
Where’s the money?” they demanded, over and over.
As the intruders ransacked the house, Harris insisted he didn’t have any money, family members said Tuesday. Then one of the three shot Harris in the head.
He clung to life for just over eight hours at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.
But Harris’ nephew Anthony Fleming said the post was a joke. The stacks of cash were simply piles of $1 bills, with $20s on top to make them seem far more valuable than they were, Fleming said.
This past weekend, Crack detectives foiled attempt by some armed robbers to blow up and rob one of the old generation banks in Ondo State by digging an underground tunnel into the premises.
It was gathered that the gang, had dug over 15 meters into the bank premises from the fence which is behind the bank at Alagbaka area where it is located in Akure metropolice.
Vanguard discovered that the tunnel was able to contain three persons at a time, while the place from where the hoodlums operated, is isolated from other buildings.
It was gathered that the tunnel would have been dug into the banking hall if it had not been discovered by the detectives.
Police source said the gang that planned the robbery would have operated at the weekend when the bank staff would not be at work.
Sources said the bankers would have resumed to discover that the banks vault had been blown off and all the money carted away.
Speaking in Akure, the Commissioner of Police, Mike Ogbodu, said:
“It was the banks’ surveillance squad that discovered the long tunnel dug by the suspected armed robbers behind the Ado/Owo Road branch of the bank.’’
“The length of the tunnel dug from the perimeter fence of the bank into the bank premises was about 10 to 15 meters.
“The tunnel was apparently prepared to serve as a passage to the bank premises to carry out their nefarious act without being noticed.’’
According to the Police chief who conducted newsmen round the scene, items recovered include shovel, diggers and other tools, biscuits, pure water sachets and soft drinks.
“This is a new trend being employed by men of the underworld these days. Consequently, bank management are advised to be conscious of the happenings in their environment and also endeavour to always remove any barrier that could serve as cover for criminals,’’ the police commissioner said.
A said Nigerian man could be spending the rest of his life in jail for allegedly smuggling $10million worth of ice into Australia inside a gaudy fish statue.
Mailonline reports that Sydney border force officers found 10kg of the highly addictive drug hidden inside one of three gold-coloured fish statues destined for a residential address in Kaleen, north of Canberra.
Police were alerted and arrested the 32-year-old after he picked up the statues, removed the drugs, and tried to board a bus bound for Sydney on Saturday.
The drug stash, which had been imported from China, was found on the man when he was arrested, police say.
The man, who arrived in Australia in July on a student visa, faces a maximum penalty of life in jail if he’s convicted of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of an illegal drug.

In line with the arrest of the director of radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, the Indigenous People of Biafra Worldwide and owners of Radio Biafra, have written an open letter to world leaders.
Kanu was apprehended at night on Saturday, October 16th by the Department of State Service, DSS.
A letter by Ifeanyi Chijioke on behalf of the group, said the arrest of Kanu had shown that freedom of speech in Nigeria was a ruse.
The group also threatened to fight the Nigerian government if Kanu was not freed.
“The world leaders must stand up to its integrity, pride, and in defense of the law they made,” the group said, adding that “the UN chatter on the rights of indigenous people had become endangered with the arrest of this leader of indigenous people of Biafra.”
“It’s on record that Nnamdi kanu is a law abiding leader who has disciplined indigenous people of Biafra to strictly abide by local and international law. The gut for his arrest is nothing but slap on the face of United Nations.
“Meanwhile, this is a gross provocation of indigenous people of Biafra and, as endangered people, would only wait shortly for due process and immediate release of her leader.
“The world should know that arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the making of monster in indigenous people of Biafra and to prevent and save lives, world leaders must stand up to their responsibility.
“Biafrans, as endangered species of terror, genocide, murder and unlawful detentions, must be sorted or laws will be taken into their hands.
“Biafrans call on world leaders to prevail on Buhari to with immediate effect release the leader of the people as he is charged with no crime”
Residents of Norther state, Kano, went wild in celebration on Saturday as their Emir, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, rode on a she-camel as against the usual horse, during a durbar, organised to mark the Eid-El-Kabir in arrears.
The event, which took place in the evening, became talk-of-the town as youth and women in purdah, all rushed out to watch the royal father atop a camel.
Some of the women and youth who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), described the royal father’s mounting of a camel “as a pleasant surprise to his people”.
They lauded the emir’s sense of “innovation”, saying that he had been adding “colour” to the throne since he became the Emir of Kano.
One of the women interviewed, Amina Kofar- kudu, said the new emir had been creative in the administration of the palace.
Malam Lawan Abdullahi, a resident of the palace, said that history revealed that the Emir’s grandfather once rode on camel to a durbar in Kaduna.
