Jemal Countess/Getty Images(PRETORIA, South Africa) — Oscar Pistorius will likely remain behind bars for at least a few more weeks while his case is referred back to the parole board.
A decision to grant him parole was delayed again and Pistorius must remail in jail, says the BBC.
Pistorius was referred for psychotherapy, “in order to address criminogenic factors of the crime he committed,” according to a statement from South Africa’s Department of Correctional Services.
The Parole board also said the decision to release Pistorius early was made prematurely.
Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide in the February 2014 death of his girlfriend and model, Reeva Steenkamp.
