A domestic abuse victim was locked in her flat and subjected to a four-hour beating after refusing to get her boyfriend a cigarette. Kelsie Skillen, 18, feared she was going to die when James McCourt hid her phone and her keys and told her: "You�re going to have a bruised face tomorrow so I better do it right."
McCourt was jailed for 21 months after pleading guilty to two counts of assault.
Following the sentencing, Kelsie told the Daily Record : "I�m happy he has been sent away and can�t get to me. I�m so glad. During the incident I kept saying, �Is it worth going to jail?� And he said, �I don�t care if I go to jail as long as you�re dead�. I remember thinking, �He is trying to kill me. He is dangerous.�
Kelsie only escaped after McCourt left the room and she phoned her mum, who called the police to the flat in Milton, Glasgow.
Last month at the city�s sheriff court, McCourt admitted assaulting Kelsie between May 1 and 31, including bursting her nose open. He also pleaded guilty to the prolonged assault on June 5 and �detaining her against her will�.
Kelsie was so badly bruised she stayed off work for three weeks., Mirror.co.uk reports.
