The sicko who kidnapped and brutally tortured his girlfriend for a month in his Brooklyn apartment left the burned, bloodied and battered woman on the doorstep of his own mother to find the victim, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.
Anthony Matthews, 31, had imprisoned his on-again, off-again girlfriend of two years in his Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment since June 29 — where he burned her genitals with a heated screwdriver and broke several of her teeth with a gun, sources said.
But on Monday, the psycho told the victim he’d “let her live,” sources said.
Matthews took her to his mother’s doorstep in Clinton Hill, propped her up against the door, rang the bell and ran, sources said.
The mother found the poor victim with just four pints of blood — a healthy female usually has about 11 pints — and called 911.
“She was mutilated,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said yesterday.
The victim, whose name has been withheld, was at Woodhull Hospital in critical but stable condition yesterday.
Matthews, who faces life in prison, is being held without bail.
The 26-year-old’s nightmare began when Matthews found her at her father’s house in upstate Peekskill and threatened to shoot her family if she didn’t leave with him, records show.
He took her to his apartment, where he repeatedly beat her up with a two-by-four and tied her with extension cords, records show.
He also repeatedly burned her legs, clitoris and other parts of her body with a hot iron and a heated screwdriver.
Two weeks in, she made a feeble attempt to escape, but Matthews caught her, shoved a gun in her mouth and broke several of her teeth, threatening to kill her family. She made no further attempts to flee.
“We never knew,” said a neighbor, Stephane, 41, who asked that her last name not be revealed. “I don’t even see how he could have done this.
“How could you do this to a person?”
