Brute made girlfriend drink his blood and inflicted pain so bad "you think you're already dead"
A brute made his terrified girlfriend drink his blood and inflicted pain "so bad you think you're already dead" during a shocking series of attacks.
Freddy Smith aka Campbell used weapons including a razor blade, a sword, a mug and a metal pole to inflict injuries then refused to let her leave his home until they were healed enough to be hidden.

Newcastle Crown Court heard he refused to let the woman use her phone or look in the mirror while she was with him and forced her to go outside naked.
Judge Tim Gittins today jailed him for six years with a three year extended licence period and said he poses a risk of serious violence and serious harm to others.
The judge said the violence was "gratuitous" and added: "She feared you, as she said, with every bone in her body."
Prosecutor Joe Hedworth said the victim described the defendant as becoming "Bad Freddy" and added: "The defendant subjected the complainant to a catalogue of violence , using a variety of weapons including for example a razor blade, a weight-lifting pole, a sword and on occasions, while she was pregnant, took steps to stop her injuries and his use of violence being discovered.
“He manipulated her, made her drink his blood, made her go outside naked in the dark and cold and write down that she would sell images of her naked body for money."
The court heard during the first attack Campbell threw a ceramic mug which hit her elbow and caused an injury.
A few weeks later he bought a sword from the internet and Mr Hedworth said: "He used it to stab the complainant in her right lower leg and right foot, which bled heavily."
During the next attack Campbell smashed a glass bottle onto her finger, which caused bruising.
Mr Hedworth said when the victim was heavily pregnant Campbell used a razor to cut her thigh and cause a deep wound while she was in the shower.
The victim said it was "very deep, you could see the actual fat".
Mr Hedworth said: "During that incident the defendant threatened to cut her throat and made her go outside, naked, in the cold."
The court heard during another attack Campbell used a metal pole to hit her on the back of the head which caused a cut and during a separate incident told her she had "walked into a beating" then struck her with a metal object again then punched her repeatedly until the pain was "500 out of 10".
In an impact statement the victim said: "I was living in a constant state of fear, I always felt on edge.
"I remember the police asking me to describe the pain I felt during the assaults. It was pain so bad you think you're already dead."
The woman said she now has scars across her body and is still mentally traumatised by the ordeal.
Sue Hirst, defending, said Campbell has mental health problems, is now older and more mature and had never been in trouble before.
Campbell, 24, of East Lea, Gateshead, admitted controlling and coercive behaviour, four charges of assault, one of non-fatal strangulation, unlawful wounding and wounding with intent.
