Video footage of paralympian Oscar Pistorius re-enacting the night he shot dead Reeva Steenkamp will be shown on Australian television.
A former girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius told his murder trial that he always carried a gun, shouted angrily at her and her friends, and carried a gun with him "all the time".
Samantha Taylor said he carried a gun with him "all the time" and described an incident when he angrily fired his gun through the sunroof of his car, and threatened another driver with a gun.
As well as being charged with murder, Pistorius is facing three firearms offences.
Samantha Taylor described an occasion when Pistorius jumped out of his car at the gateway of his Pretoria housing complex and put his gun to the window of a black BMW that appeared to have been following him.
Taylor also said Pistorius woke her up in the middle of the night after hearing a bang in the bathroom, and then "got his gun and walked out of the room."
She also said there were "one or two" other occasions when Pistorius woke her after hearing noises during the night.
Pistorius said he did not check whether Steenkamp was still in the bed, or make any move to wake her before moving to the bathroom and shooting the supposed intruder on the night he shot her.
Oscar Pistorius' defence will open their case on Friday and the Paralympic and Olympic athlete is expected to testify in the morning.
Oscar Pistorius was "probably not wearing his prosthetic legs" when he fatally shot his girlfriend, a forensic analyst told his trial.
Reporters discuss their views on the evidence while trays of coffee are passed along. At times it feels more like a cinema than a courtroom.
