Oscar Pistorius was "wrong" in his version of events about what happened on the night he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the prosecution has claimed.
During cross-examination by lawyer Gerrie Nel, forensic expert Roger Dixon appeared to contradict what the athlete told the court about the position of a magazine rack in the bathroom.
In a graphic photograph showing a pool of Ms Steenkamp's blood around the toilet bowl, the witness pointed out a rectangular-shaped mark.
He claimed this shows the magazine rack was in the position it appeared in in a police photograph, something Pistorius rejects.
Mr Nel, who grilled Pistorius for five days, is quizzing a forensic expert The athlete's murder trial is now in its 25th day - the last before the start of a two-week Easter break.
The day's proceedings started with a stark warning from Judge Thokozile Masipa to people watching the case in an adjoining 'overspill' room, who she said climb over benches and "cheer, boo and do what they like".
"Something disturbing has come to my attention," she said.
The continued cross-examination of Mr Dixon comes after he was branded "irresponsible" by Mr Nel during a dramatic day of evidence on Wednesday.
The witness was accused of addressing the court without having properly read a post-mortem report about Ms Steenkamp's death.
Pistorius, 27, admits shooting his girlfriend but denies a charge of premeditated murder, claiming he mistook her for an intruder.
Ms Steenkamp was shot dead at Pistorius' home on Valentine's Day last year He lowered his head and clasped his hands around his ears as further details about Ms Steenkamp's injuries were read to the court.
Mr Dixon said the shock of the first bullet fired through the bathroom door may have caused her to twist and fall.
He told the court a further bullet hit Ms Steenkamp's head as she slumped to the floor, hitting her back on the magazine rack as she did so.
On Wednesday, Mr Dixon said a bullet that struck the model's arm caused such serious damage it was like "an instant amputation".
As well as premeditated murder, Pistorius, who won two gold medals at the Paralympic Games in London in 2012, denies two further counts related to shooting a gun in public on separate occasions prior to the killing.
