Two men played a game of Rock-paper-scissors to decide who would attack a terrified woman.

18 year-old Jordan McCulloch and 28 year-old Craig Sutherland eventually both pounced on Kristina Zmudova - then threatened to dump her in a freezer.

She had been awoken after the pair initially left her boyfriend Jordan Ness with a fractured cheek at a flat in Glasgow's Pollokshaws in May this year.

When Jordan then managed to flee, the duo turned to Kristina stating: "You'll do."

McCulloch and Sutherland are now behind bars after they admitted assaulting the couple as well as abducting Kristina.

They will be sentenced next month.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard all four had been at a party.

A row broke out before Jordan was choked by the pair.

McCulloch then floored Jordan after smacking him on the head with a bottle.

The man was also punched and kicked.

Kristina was woken up by the commotion as Jordan escaped.

She was locked inside the flat before being told: "If we can't get him, you will do."

Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “They went on to play a game of Rock- paper-scissors to determine who would assault her first.

“She was repeatedly punched and kicked on the head and body.

“She pleaded with them to allow her to leave - but they told her they would kill her put put her in a freezer.”

The terrified victim only escaped their clutches hours later. She required hospital treatment for cuts and bruises.

Sheriff Andrew Cubie deferred sentence for reports.
