A vile thug who tried to pull his girlfriend's teeth out with metal pliers and threatened to drill her eye out has been jailed.

Jack Robson, 21, used a pair of mole grips as he attempted to yank out his partner's teeth and also made her choose the drill he said he would use to take her eye out.

A court heard he also kicked, punched and bit the victim, causing her to lose consciousness on multiple occasions during their relationship.

He would hold her against her will and make numerous threats that he would kill her, her family or her pets if she ever left him.

The bully would also control her movements and finances, making her delete all her social media apps and games on her phone as he monitored her text messages.
