A violent thug tried to Facetime his girlfriend's dad to make him watch as he tortured her.
Lewis Dunn burnt his partner with cigarettes, stabbed her and threatened to cut her toes off in a nightmare ordeal that only ended when she hid in a bin to get away from him. The 27-year-old's victim ran through the streets in her pyjamas before hiding to escape.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Tuesday, that the defendant attended the home where his 21-year-old partner lived with her parents on February 22 and smashed the living room window - as well as those of a Mercedes A-Class and a white van - before fleeing on foot. Dunn then said in a call to the 21-year-old's mum: "I'll get some smackheads to come up and burn your house down, I'll stab you up."
