Prosecutors are set to build on their case today in the murder case against 'The Blade Runner', South African, Oscar Pistorius.
The prosecution is trying to prove that Pistorius intentionally killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp during an argument on Valentine's Day last year.
The CNN reports that neighbours of the once-glamorous couple have been testifying to hearing shouts from Pistorius' house before a series of gunshots around 3 o'clock on the day that Steenkamp died.
The first witness, Michelle Burger, called the screams "petrifying" and broke down in tears on the stand Tuesday, saying: "It was awful to hear the shots."
The list of 107 potential witnesses includes a blood-spatter expert, police, ambulance drivers, neighbors and relatives of Pistorius and Steenkamp, as well as some of their former lovers.
