Bertrand Cantat, the French rock star convicted of manslaughter in the 2003 beating death of his actress girlfriend, left prison in Toulouse, France, Tuesday after serving four years of an eight-year sentence.

Cantat, 43, lead singer of Noir Desir (Black Desire), was released early for good behavior.

A Lithuanian court convicted him in 2004 in the death of 41-year-old French actress Marie Trintignant in a Vilnius hotel room. Cantat was transferred to France after his trial.
