CAPE TOWN, South Africa—Eight years after he shot dead his girlfriend, Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius is up for parole, but first, he must meet with her parents.

Pistorius, a world-famous double-amputee athlete who competed at the 2012 Olympics, has been eligible for parole since July after he was convicted of murder for shooting model Reva Steenkamp multiple times through a toilet door in his home on Valentine’s Day 2013.
