The young mum was left with broken ribs, a missing front tooth, a fractured nose, a swollen face and two black eyes. Brogan, who is mum to Jackson, two, said: ‘I thought I was going to die, I didn’t think I was going to get out of there alive. ‘All I could see and taste was blood. I had a missing tooth and I could hardly breath. Dominic knew exactly what he was doing as he was a K1 fighter. Prosecutor Neil Jones told the court: ‘She put her phone under the pillow before she went to sleep and she woke up to find she was being attacked in a sustained manner. ‘It was a sustained assault lasting around one hour. He threw her to the bed, breaking her pyjamas. She felt her tooth was missing and there was blood all over her face. | Metro News via IFTTT
