Sadistic man strangled his partner with a dog collar and said she 'belonged on a leash'

This is the face of a 'sadistic' man who bullied his girlfriend into wearing a dog collar around her neck twice - and strangled her with it.

Toby Megson, 26, also tightened the collar to strangle his teenage victim, telling her: "That's where you belong, on a leash, because you're a dog". He also made "blood-curdling threats" to her about pouring boiling water or bleach over her and cutting down her uncle's memorial tree, Hull Crown Court heard.

Now, Megson, 26, of Raglan Street, Hull, admitted harassment, breaching a non-molestation order and causing criminal damage between October 22 and 26, HullLive reports. Dale Brook, prosecuting, said that Megson was in a relationship with the 19-year-old Hull woman for about eight months but some of it was "very volatile".
