Keir Johnston turned on terrified Grace Johnston - at one stage threatening: 'Somebody is going to die'.

A man who went viral after a dress bought for his wedding "broke the internet" was jailed today for four-and-a-half years.

It was nicknamed "The Dress That Broke the Internet" after a guest shared a photo of the garment online. The once happy couple went on to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the USA, where they were handed $10,000 and a luxury trip to Grenada. Prosecutor Chris Macintosh told how it was accepted Grace had suffered previous domestic violence - including her husband trying to strangle her - before the attack in 2022.

Mr Macintosh: "Johnston woke up and said that he was going to leave her. She went outside the property to stop him leaving.
