A domestic violence victim whose terrified screams were recorded by her distressed daughter said she fears her abuser will end up killing her.
The woman had been in a "turbulent" relationship for four years with Carl Smith and was subjected to a series of assaults and then a campaign of harassment when she finally found the courage to dump him.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that in December 2020 they were at the dining table when the victim questioned Smith about a metal object found in the washing. He became angry and pulled her off the kitchen chair.
