Oscar Pistorius has been denied an early release from prison after his request for parole was rejected.
Pistorius, the former Olympian and Paralympian, became eligible for parole having served more than half of his 13-year sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
But he will remain in prison after authorities determined he had not served enough of his sentence.
The decision was welcomed by Ms Steenkamp's family.
"We miss Reeva terribly and will do so for the rest of our lives. We believe in justice and hope that it continues to prevail," a statement from the family read.
Pistorius was originally found guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced to six years in prison. That verdict was later overturned and he was convicted of murder, with Pistorius handed a 13-year team in 2017.
