Oscar Pistorius granted bail ahead of murder trial

The blade runner was granted bail by a South African court this afternoon after a judge ruled he was not a flight risk. He will be free to go home until the start of his trial for shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Thursday February 14th.
His bail was set at one million rand, with one hundred thousand rand paid immediately. He's also not allowed to drink alcohol or return to the home were he killed Reeva. Bail conditions include a ban on leaving Pretoria.

The next hearing in the case has been set for 4 June.
