		</div><p>Convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius was let out of prison for four hours last week to attend his grandmother&#8217;s funeral, South African authorities have said.</p>
<p>An elite security unit took the former track star to the funeral on Friday morning under a compassionate leave policy for prisoners, the correctional services department said.</p>
<p>Pistorius, who fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, asked to attend the funeral and was allowed to do so because he is classified as a &#8220;low risk&#8221; offender, department spokesman Manelisi Wolela said.</p>
<p>The double-amputee Olympian is serving a six-year prison term for murdering Ms Steenkamp and is being held at the Kgosi Mampuru II jail in Pretoria.</p>
<p>Prosecutors have said the sentence is too lenient.</p>
