A woman left blind and disfigured by her abusive partner is speaking out in the hope it will help others. Police have described it as one of the worst domestic violence cases they've seen.
The woman, who cannot be named, eventually escaped after 16 years.
The offender, who can't be named to protect their children's identities, was last month sentenced to 12 years in jail on 38 charges of abuse. RNZ reporter Sally Murphy spoke to the woman about starting a new life and the violence she eventually fled.
