A drunken “monster” held a meat cleaver to his former partner’s neck and threatened to kill her.
Rodney Akomas had earlier demanded the frightened woman kneel before him to apologise and after repeatedly slapping her, told her “I’ll kill you. I’m a dangerous man. I want you to respect me, I want you to be submissive.”
Her terrifying ordeal was brought to an end when she managed to scream which alerted neighbours who ran to her rescue. They kicked the door in and found the 54-year-old holding her aggressively over the sink with the knife above her.
