A heavily pregnant woman who was held hostage by her ex has told how he "slashed her stomach with an ornamental sword" and threatened to perform a DIY cesarean section in a horrifying five-hour ordeal.
Amy MacFarlane, 25, faked going into labour so that she could escape 30-year-old Jake Corry after he "lined up torture implements", chained her to a radiator, hit her with a hammer and cut off all her hair.
She became so scared that she wet herself, and managed to persuade him to call an ambulance by pretending that her waters had broken.
