Mark Scott-Crossley, one of the men who threw a worker's body to lions in Hoedspruit in 2004, is a free man, a correctional services spokeswoman said yesterday.
"His last day of parole was September 29, so he is now a free man," said spokeswoman Sarie Peens.
Scott-Crossley's August 2008 release on parole was met with outrage.
At the time, Cosatu charged that those who were "rich and white" received preferential treatment.
In 2005, Scott-Crossley was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Phalaborwa Circuit Court for assaulting and then throwing Nelson Chisale to the lions.
In 2007 the Supreme Court of Appeals in Bloemfontein set aside his murder conviction . It substituted five years' imprisonment on the lesser offence of being an accessory.
