Script:
Oscar Pistorius left court on Friday after the fifth day of his murder trial at the Pretoria Supreme Court.
A former girlfriend of the double amputee had earlier testified, saying that he always carried a firearm, sometimes shouted angrily at her and her friends, once shot his gun out the sunroof of a car, and that their relationship ended when he cheated on her with Reeva Steenkamp, the woman he fatally shot last year.
Samantha Taylor also described some of Pistorius' habits while they were dating, including what side of the bed he always slept on at home and where he kept his gun during the night.
Taylor's observations of what Pistorius did when they were together show different habits from what the Olympic athlete says he did on the night when he shot Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius, 27, is charged with premeditated murder of 29-year-old model, Reeva Steenkamp.
Prosecutors said he did it during an argument but he insists it was a mistake, and that he shot four times through a locked toilet door believing an intruder was behind it.
The testimony on Friday by Taylor paints the picture of a man who has a temper and was fond of guns.
