Oscar Pistorius will hear from the mother of his murder victim girlfriend for the first time at a parole hearing on Friday where it will be decided if he will be released from prison.
The South African Paralympian, now 36, was jailed for 13 years and five months for shooting his then-girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year-old law student and model.
On Friday, the parole board at Atteridgeville prison in the capital, Pretoria, is expected to decide whether to release the killer after serving half his sentence.
