SOUNDBITE: (English) Anneliese Burgess, Pistorius family spokesperson:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Anneliese Burgess, Pistorius family spokesperson:
"Oscar is here and Oscar is at home with the family."
Journalist: "Can you give us the sense of conditions he's been placed under?"
"I can not talk about the conditions at this stage. I'm sure that will become clearer as, as time proceeds."
Journalist: "Can you tell us what he did when he got home. What's the first thing that he did when he got home?"
"I am afraid I can't, I can't speak any further."
Journalist: "Anneliese, the family described his treatment as unfair. Do they continue to feel that way?"
"The family is happy that Oscar's home, but they want to make a point, that Oscar's sentence continues. And that is the key point here. His sentence hasn't been shortened, isn't reduced, he continues with the sentence as per the sentence han
