The family of the model shot dead by Oscar Pistorius say that his release from prison after serving a year for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp 'makes no difference' to them.

A lawyer for Miss Steenkamps's parents Barry and June, who condemned the sentence from the outset, said the athlete's early release 'doesn't change how they feel' because Reeva is still dead.

The Paralympian was freed under house arrest under the cover of darkness a day earlier than planned and will serve the rest of his five-year sentence at his uncle's palatial home in Pretoria.
