Paralympic sprinting star Oscar Pistorius is a 'trigger-happy gun nut' prone to violent outbursts, South African police has claimed.
The 26-year-old is due to appear in court for murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
According to the Daily Star, the South African police will also call ex-girlfriends and other witnesses in a bid to expose Oscar's "aggressive character".
The police will also try and accuse him of being a thug who allegedly threatened to break one love rival's legs, the report said.
The star, who won two golds at last summer's Paralympics, blasted Reeva to death on Valentine's Day.
He fired multiple shots through a closed bathroom door, but claims to have mistaken her for an intruder at his Pretoria home, the report added.
