A sick abuser tried to Facetime his girlfriends's dad to force him to watch as he tortured her. Lewis Dunn put out cigarettes on his partner, stabbed her and threatened to slice off her toes in the horror assault that only ended when she managed to escape the Liverpool house where she was being held.
The victim then ran through the streets in her pyjamas, before managing to hide from the 27-year-old offender in a bin. Dunn had visited the home of his 21-year-old partner, where she lived with her parents, and smashed the living room window on February 22, the Liverpool Echo reports.
He also vandalised a Mercedes A-Class and white van before taking off on foot. On Tuesday, Liverpool Crown Court heard that Dunn then called his girlfriend's mum and told her: "I'll get some smackheads to come up and burn your house down, I'll stab you up."
