His arrest over the death of model Reeva Steenkamp has stunned the country where he is considered a national hero.
The 26-year-old is due to appear in court on Friday.
Mr Pistorius made history in London last year when he became the first double-amputee track athlete to compete in the Olympic Games.
He is known as the "blade runner" because of the carbon fibre prosthetic blades he races in. He was born without a fibula in both legs and had his legs amputated below the knee before his first birthday.
