Former sporting superstar Oscar Pistorius might be the most famous killer in the world.
The former Paralympic champion left prison in South Africa on Friday on parole, having served half of his more than 13-year sentence for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013.
The twists and turns of his trial nearly a decade ago absorbed the nation - and his release is a massive news event here in South Africa and around the world.
The double amputee won six gold medals over three Paralympic Games and made history in 2012 by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics, in London.
But Pistorius is now a convicted murderer.
He is not a celebrity seeking a comeback after falling out of fashion or battling personal demons.
