Why Did Mozambican Journalist Cardoso's Killer Get Early Release?

Momade Assife Abdul Satar, one of the men who was found guilty for the murder of investigative journalist Carlos Cardoso was released after only serving half his sentence. Despite his 24 year sentence and compensation equivalent to U.S$588,000 to Cardoso's two children, Sata was released on parole in 2014, even though he had not paid a penny in compensation to Cardoso's children.
