Huge media interest was generated by Oscar Pistorius' trial and hearings.

Oscar Pistorius was moved to a different prison to be closer to the parents of Reeva Steenkamp, the girlfriend he killed.

The 35-year-old could be released on parole after the meeting.

The South African has been moved closer to the house.

After serving half of his sentence, Pistorius could be released.

He fired through the door.

He was given a five-year term for manslaughter after a trial that was followed around the world. The sentence was increased to 13 years and five months after Pistorius was found guilty of murder.

When the possibility of Pistorius' release first came up earlier this month, the Steenkamps' lawyer told SABC that they would like to participate in the victim-offender dialogue.

June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother, has always said that she has forgiven Oscar, however that doesn't mean that he must not pay for what he has done. Ms Koen said that Reeva's father, Barry Steenkamp, battles with that a bit, but that will have to be said at the right time.

The wound is still very raw even after so much time has passed.

The lawyer told the Daily Mirror that the letter from Pistorius was distressing for the Steenkamps.

The meeting will be guided by the level of preparation by all participants, according to the authorities.
