A Supreme Court jury in Darwin has today found a man guilty of seriously harming his girlfriend by pouring boiling stew over her.
Gordon Brown has also been found guilty of depriving the 26-year-old of her liberty by stopping her from getting help for a day.
When she eventually got medical help two days later, her burns were infected and had started to smell.
Brown had pleaded not guilty to the charges laid over the incident at Darwin's Bagot community last November.
He is being held in custody and will go before court again tomorrow for sentencing submissions.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
