'Bondage Gone Wrong'

Let this be a lesson, kids. Don't play these games without proper supervision.

A MAN died in a bondage session after his partner bound and gagged him at their Sunshine Coast home then left to take a shower, a court has been told.

Jean Margaret Meiers, 58, today faced the Supreme Court in Brisbane and pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of Geoffrey Braunack, 47, on November 1, 2004.

She is accused of failing in her duty of care after taping the mouth of her de facto husband and using rope, tape and a dog chain to tie him to a concrete post on their Beerburrum patio.

The court was told Ms Meiers left her tied-up partner to take a shower and when she returned he was not moving.

Ms Meiers put bulldog clips on Mr Braunack's nipples and slapped his face to try to wake him before she cut him down and called an ambulance, the court was told.

Paramedics were unable to revive Mr Braunack, who died from asphyxia.

Senior Constable Joanne Moore told the court she arrived at the couple's home just after the paramedics to find Meiers screaming on the phone.

Sen Const Moore said Meiers was yelling: "I killed him, he's f**king dead, he's dead'' and "I told the f**king idiot he wouldn't get out of this one''.
