THREE former sexual partners of murder-accused Brenden Bennetts have told a Supreme Court jury he strangled them during sex.
One of the women was Bennetts girlfriend at the time Jayde Kendall, 16, went missing in August, 2015.
She said the pair often engaged in bondage and strangulation, but one day it went a little too far.
He put his hands around my throat and squeezed tighter than normal, she said.
I had trouble breathing. I kicked him off.
He untied me and he was very apologetic.
Another woman said she had rough sex with Bennetts often including hands around the throat, some choking.
A third woman said Bennetts once put his hands against her throat and pushed her against a wall, but when she protested he apologised and never did it again.

I thought she would be back by now to be honest, but apparently not, he said.
She made me promise to give her as much time as possible before I talk to you guys.
You guys particularly you know, police.
Bennetts said he dropped Jayde off on the highway and thought she might have been going to Brisbane.
If I could go back and change it I would ... letting her get out of the car, he said.
