A Logan man held his ex-partner hostage and viciously assaulted her over 24 hours, telling her she would be tortured for three days because she "did not deserve a quick death".
Dean Thomas Murray, 36, bragged to friends through text messages that his former partner could no longer hear because he had "flogged her" so hard and that he was going to burn them both alive, the Brisbane District Court was told.
Prosecutor Russell Hood said in the lead up to his protracted assault, Murray sent his ex a photo of himself holding a kitchen knife, and other violent texts telling her he would "bust the f--k out of her" and rape and torture her housemates.
