He had his own cell with an en suite bathroom and access to a vegetable patch to grow his own food. Media reports suggest that he has lost his fitness while in prison, and grown a beard.

Conditions at the home of his uncle, Arnold Pistorius – a three-storey mansion worth an estimated R20m (£840,000) – will be a significant improvement.

Pistorius is expected to live in a cottage in the grounds of the mansion. Extra security was installed in anticipation of his arrival.
