George Zimmerman has sparked fury on Twitter yet again after retweeting a picture of Trayvon Martin’s dead body.

A fan had posted the shocking image on the social network alongside a message to Zimmerman saying: ‘Z-Man is a one man army.’

Zimmerman then retweeted the image to more than 10,000 followers on his account, which he often uses to troll people online.

George Zimmerman, who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in 2012, has sparked fury on Twitter yet again after retweeting this picture of the teenager’s dead body

Zimmerman (pictured right, in a 2005 mugshot) was acquitted of murder charges after the fatal shooting of Martin (left) in 2012

Rawstory.com reported Zimmerman retweeted the image on Friday – but it has since disappeared from his profile.

It is unclear if Zimmerman or the original poster deleted the image or if it was removed by Twitter.

It led to Twitter users hurling abuse at Zimmerman, who was branded a ‘miserable excuse for a human being.’

One told him: ‘You’re a disgusting human being. I know I shouldn’t ever say that, but look at you. All proud for killing a kid.’

Another added: ‘One day someone will tweet the lifeless body of @TherealGeorgeZ and karma will be had.’

The 31-year-old was acquitted of murder charges after the fatal shooting of Martin in 2012.

Last month, Zimmerman posted racist and homophobic slurs in a series of tweets as well as a selfie (pictured) he took as he smoked a cigar in a swimming pool

His latest controversial tweet sparked outrage among users on Twitter, who branded him a 'disgusting' person

He made headlines after shooting the unarmed 17-year-old on February 26, 2012, during a neighborhood patrol in Sanford, Florida.

The case shocked the nation, sparking protests across the country with demonstrators demanding Zimmerman's arrest and a full investigation.

On July 13 the following year, he was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Since then, he has had a series of run-ins with the law and courted online controversy a number of times by bragging about killing the African-American teenager on social media.

He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument.

Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife Shellie of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. However, no charges were ever filed due to a lack of evidence.

And following his third arrest for domestic violence allegations earlier this year, Zimmerman's lawyer admitted his client 'has not been lucky with the ladies.'

Last month, he referenced Martin's death when someone messaged him saying 'It's slap-an-idiot Wednesday'

Zimmerman posted pictures of Michael Brown (left), who was shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson and Virginia gunman Vester Flanagan (right) with the caption: ‘If @BarackObama had two sons’

Zimmerman also branded President Obama an ‘ignorant baboon’ for his statements about the high number of gun-related deaths in America after the on-air shooting of WDBJ employees by Flanagan last month

Last month, Zimmerman referenced Martin’s death when someone sent him the message: ‘It’s slap-an-idiot Wednesday.’

He replied: ‘We all know how it ended for the last moron that hit me. Give it a whirl cupcake.’

Hours later, he posted numerous racial slurs in a series of tweets as well as a selfie he took as he smoked a cigar in a swimming pool.

He posted pictures of Michael Brown and Vester Flanagan with the caption: ‘If @BarackObama had two sons’.

Zimmerman also branded President Obama an ‘ignorant baboon’ for his statements about the high number of gun-related deaths in America after the on-air shooting of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward.

Using a number of homophobic slurs, he wrote: ‘Pansy Fester [sic] lee Flanagan, too much of a daisy to deal w/racism. Murders 2 whites. Hate crime, 100%. Racist Obama says nothing condeming [sic].’
