A thug who caused a national outcry when he blinded his lover by gouging out her eyes has failed in a bid to be released from jail.
Sadistic Shane Jenkin, now 42, has been told he must stay in prison for at least another two years after the Parole Board decision.
It decided he was still too dangerous to be released after hearing evidence from his psychologist, a nurse and victim Tina Nash.
The mother-of-two, who was permanently blinded in the attack on April 20, 2011, gave a victim impact statement.
Jenkin was jailed for life in 2012 for permanently blinding his girlfriend at her house in Hayle, Cornwall.
