A JEALOUS thug threatened to murder his terrified lover for her thumbprint to access her phone.
Connor McAdam, 26, turned on Emma McLoughlin, 24, at properties in Cambuslang and Rutherglen.
McAdam demanded the phone and questioned Miss McLoughlin's infidelity.
The brute then stubbed her with a cigarette in the eye which caused her eyelashes to burn.

McAdam pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to engaging in a course of conduct which was the abuse of a partner or ex-partner.
He also admitted assaulting Kerri Murphy, maliciously throwing a mobile phone and an iPad as well as behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
The allegations spanned between August 2020 and September 2020.
The court heard the pair were in a relationship between March and September 2020.
McAdam threatened to strangle Miss McLoughlin with a seatbelt after an argument on August 30.
McAdam then kicked out Miss McLoughlin and called her a “f***ing slut.”
He had earlier pushed Miss McLoughlin's friend Miss Murphy due to an argument over her phone.
The pair split up in September but Miss McLoughlin was unable to block McAdam’s number due to threats.
He sent texts stating: “Am killing you, you’re getting done simple, this is never finished, am just playing with you the now, not even started.”

McAdam then interrogated Miss McLoughlin on October 3 asking her where she had been the night before and demanded her phone.
Prosecutor John Bedford said: “Miss McLoughlin’s phone is accessed by a thumbprint.
“McAdam said he would murder and obtain her thumbprint if she refused but she declined.”
McAdam struck Miss McLoughlin to the jaw and head butted her which caused her to smash against a wardrobe.
He then restrained her between his legs and punched her on the head and body.
Mr Bedford added: “He threatened to gouge her eyes out should she continue to scream.”
He continued to further assault the victim which lasted 15 minutes.
Mr Bedford said: “He then attempted to stub a cigarette out in Miss McLoughlin’s eye.
“She could smell her eyelashes burning, causing her to scream out loud.”
Miss McLoughlin went to hospital later that day for treatment for a shoulder fracture and other injuries including bruising to her chest, wrist and ankle.
Sentence was deferred until next month for background reports by Sheriff Paul Crozier who continued McAdam’s remand in custody meantime.
