Shocking moment thug DJ boasts about chopping off bloodied rival’s finger in sick Snapchat after meat cleaver attack

THIS is the chilling moment a DJ showed off a rival's severed finger after savagely chopping it off with a meat cleaver and then posting the footage on Snapchat.

DJ Madskie - real name Malachi Halstead - lured the victim into his car and drove to a graveyard before telling him: "Tonight you're losing something."

In the sickening clip Halstead turns the camera on himself, and holds the meat cleaver up and says: "Say hello to my little friend."

The shocking video was released after Halstead - known as DJ Madskie - was today jailed for 14 years after driving Teerath Mann, 23, to a graveyard to hack off the digit.

Halstead posted a video of the attack aftermath on Snapchat of himself saying: "Anyone f***s with me, this is what I do to him, I chop off their digits."

Halstead, 35 set out to hack off victim Teerath Mann's finger as a means of revenge after suspecting the 23-year-old was stealing from him.

Halstead drove to a nearby place and parked up, before getting out of the vehicle with Mann, Cardiff Crown Court was told.

Pointing to Mann holding a tea-towel to his bloodied hand, he says: "See that? I chopped that off."

A court heard Halstead drove Mr Mann, to the secluded graveyard off because he suspected he was stealing from him.

Prosecutor Heath Edwards said Halstead lured Mr Mann into his car before telling him: "Tonight you're losing something."

The victim was made to put his finger on a wooden pole while the twisted DJ held up the weapon telling him to "Say hello to my little friend."

He then bragged about the gruesome act by posting footage on Snapchat.

The court heard Mann was selling drugs for the DJ but things took a turn for the worse after Halstead suspected money had gone missing.

The entertainer denied the attack and claimed a 'Mr Biggs' had ambushed the victim while in the graveyard.

The court heard Mr Biggs was "a figment of Halstead's imagination".

Mr Edwards said: "Halstead drove to a nearby place and parked up, and both got out of the vehicle.

"Mr Mann was made to place his finger on a wooden pole, and when he did, Halstead chopped off a large part of that finger."

Cardiff Crown Court was shown the Snapchat recording showing Mr Mann's severed hand and Halstead himself.

Judge, Recorder Christopher Clee QC called the attack "utterly barbaric" and said the filming had been done to make Mr Mann seem "pathetic."

Recorder Clee said: "Mr Mann was pleading with you. He must've been petrified.

"It was an utterly barbaric attack.

"Having carried out this vicious assault you used your mobile phone to film him making him display his injury and filmed yourself boasting.

"You manipulated the footage to speed his voice to make him look and sound pathetic.

"That footage is chilling."

After the case Detective Constable Eirian Williams said: "Malachi Halstead enacted a terrible life changing injury on the victim on what was effectively a vendetta crime.

"We are delighted that this particularly violent individual has been convicted and we hope this lengthy sentence serves as a warning to others involved in organised crime."

Halstead, from Newport, South Wales was found guilty of wounding with intent after a five day trial.

He admitted escaping police custody for running away from officers after initially being arrested.

His on-off girlfriend Nicole Seaborne was cleared of providing the sicko with the weapon.
