A MUM was handcuffed to a bed and used as a sex slave by her husband - who also subjected her to medieval-style torture.

       The Russian woman, 28, even had her hand chopped off with a knife and hammer by her barbaric spouse in front of their five-year-old son.

       He was watching cartoons when he saw his dad, 27, cruelly severe her right hand at the end of the horror three-week ordeal.

       The mum, named only as Anastasia, said her spouse handcuffed her to a bed in a flat in Perm and repeatedly beat, raped, and forced her to take the same drugs as him.

       She told how her husband had inflicted torture in an intended copycat of a notorious earlier case in the country.

       He had forced her to falsely confess on video to being a prostitute, and her mother a pimp, she said.

       Anastasia added: "Bald, covered in bruises and blood, I said all this on camera, if only he would stop beating me."

       Her husband, named only as Vladislav, showed her a video of Margarita Grachyova, now 30, whose jealous husband cut off her hand with an axe - and told her she would face the same.

       But Anastasia managed to hide his axe, so he ordered her to sit on the floor and used a knife, hammering the blade, to cut off her hand, she said.

       "My son sat opposite and watched cartoons, so I tried not to show pain," she told Komsomolskaya Pravda.

       But the youngster saw the hand lying on the floor and asked: "Why did you cut off mummy's hand?”

       The dad lied, saying: "Mummy and me are playing, I'm fixing mummy's arm."

       Anastasia said he then wrapped a rag on her arm to slow the bleeding before putting her hand in a bag.

       She said: "He wanted to throw it away so the police wouldn't find it

       "He told me: ‘I'll make sure it's never sewn back on again’."

       Anastasia added: “Every minute I was getting worse, and everything was covered in blood all around.

       “I asked him to let me walk. My hand began to burn furiously.

       “I went into the bath and asked Vlad to loosen the rag, and immediately blood gushed like a fountain.

       “I was abruptly thrown into a sweat, shaking, and some hissing appeared in my ears, I began to lose consciousness.

       “I tried to pull my head back in order to stay in reality.

       “Vlad brought me water, I took a few sips, but my legs buckled, and I collapsed to the floor, while my arm hung over the bath, where blood flowed.

       “The plug was in and the bath slowly filled with blood."

       Vladislav called an ambulance - and then fled with their traumatised son.

       He was detained the next day, and is under criminal investigation for grievous bodily harm and rape.

       Grachyova, then a mother of two, became a campaigner against domestic abuse and a TV host after her horrific ordeal in 2017.

       Both her hands were severed but doctors managed to sew one back on, and she had an artificial limb fitted on the other.

       The European Court of Human Rights ordered Vladimir Putin’s government to pay her compensation of more than ￡300,000 after her monster husband Dmitry Grachyov, 30, struck her with a blunt axe more than 40 times in a forest.
