01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Murder-accused paralympian Oscar Pistorius is expected to report to the Brooklyn police station today as part of his stringent bail conditions.

Pistorius who is accused of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria on Valentines Day spent his first weekend out of jail, after Magistrate Desmond Nair granted him bail of R1m on Friday.

Part of his bail conditions are that he must report to the Brooklyn police station every Monday and Friday at set times.

He may also not return to Silver Woods country estate, the scene of the shooting, nor may he drink alcohol or take banned substances and he must surrender his passports.

Pistorius is expected back in court on the 4th of June.

Meanwhile Oscar Pistorius' brother, Carl, is due to appear in court again in March on a charge of culpable homicide.

In a statement issued on Sunday, his lawyer, Kenny Oldwage, confirmed that Carl appeared in court on the day before his brother Oscar was granted bail .

He says Carl Pistorius' court appearance relates to an accident in 2008 when a woman motorcyclist was killed.

Oldwage says the charges were initially withdrawn but later reinstated by the national prosecuting authority.

He says blood tests done at the time showed that Carl Pistorius had not been under the influence of alcohol.
