MURDER accused Paralympic 2012 gold medalist Oscar Pistorius is "considering" lobbying the Pretoria High Court to ease his strict bail conditions.

This emerged barely two days after Pretoria chief magistrate Desmond Nair released him on R1-million bail on Friday.

Pistorius's lawyer Kenny Oldwadge yesterday said he did not want to comment on Pistorius's bid to relax his bail conditions.

"I have no comment on that at the present moment, unfortunately. We are still considering our position and this is really as much as I can say right now," Oldwadge said.

Oldwadge said Pistorius spent his first weekend of freedom in Pretoria East where he is staying with family after spending eight days in the holding cells of the Brooklyn police station.

The athlete was arrested over a week ago for fatally shooting his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day.

His bail conditions are that he should not return to his Silver Woods Country Estate home or contact state witnesses and requires him to report to the Brooklyn police station daily. He also had to hand in his guns and travel documents.

The 26-year-old Pistorius is not allowed to touch alcohol or drugs and is subject to constant supervision. He is in constant contact with his probation officer to assess his state of mind.

Shavana Mushwana of Vuma Reputation Management, the publicist firm handling Pistorius's public information, said they did not want to divulge information on Pistorius's whereabouts, save to say he "spent a quiet weekend with family at his paternal uncle's house in Pretoria".

• It has also emerged that his brother Carl Pistorius faces charges of culpable homicide in connection with a 2008 road accident that left a female motorcyclist dead.

Mushwana said Carl regretted the accident and that his blood sample taken after the accident tested negative for alcohol. He is due in court at the end of next month.
