A mother was subjected to a terrifying ordeal at the hands of her violent partner during which he made shocking kidnap threats about her children.
Daniel Rush choked the woman, held a knife to her throat, poured pop over her, punched and kicked her and told her he was going to kill her in her own home. When he said he was going to get her children, she bravely fought back, throwing a chair at his face and stopping him getting upstairs where the sleeping youngsters were.
Now Rush, who told her "I get paid to kidnap kids for a living" and said if he was jailed someone else would come and take her children, has been locked u at Newcastle Crown Court.
