The 37-year-old is now at home, South Africa’s Department of Corrections said in an announcement Friday morning. His release comes nearly 11 years on from the night he shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp at his home on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

The double-amputee sprinter—who rose to international stardom as a Paralympic champion who went on to compete against non-disabled athletes at the London Olympics—was granted parole in November.
