Last month, Pistorius was denied a leave to appeal his conviction by South Africa’s highest court, the Constitutional Court.

Pistorius has been out on bail since December 2015 after he was found guilty of murder for shooting Steenkamp.

Previously he was given a lesser charge of culpable homicide and was handed a five-year prison sentence before the Supreme Court of Appeal convicted him of murder.
