According to reports the other man is Czech criminal Radovan Krejcir who Pistorius is said to have become close to while working out in the gym at Kgosi Mampuru prison in Pretoria.

Pistorius was given a five-year prison sentence after being convicted in October last year of culpable homicide over the death of his 29 year-old girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home on Valentine's Day 2013.

The prosecution were given permission to appeal the conviction and will try to have the former athlete found guilty of murder.
