Mel Gibson admits hitting ex, threatens to kill her in new audiotape

Washington, July 13 (ANI): In an explosive new audiotape, Mel Gibson has admitted that he hit his ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva and threatens to kill her twice.

The enraged actor tells the mother of his eight-month old daughter Lucia "you deserved it" after she says that he hit her and broke her teeth.

According to RadarOnline.com, as Mel and Oksana argue, the Braveheart star becomes increasingly incensed, and tells her: "You need a f*cking bat in the side of the head. Alright, how about that?"

Later on the tape, Mel alludes to killing and burying her, reports Radaronline.com.

As the former couple's argument grows worse and worse Oksana tells Mel: "You're gonna answer one day, boy, you're gonna answer."

Infuriated, Mel asks if she is threatening him, and Oksana says she is not. "I'm not the one to threaten," the Russian-born beauty says.

And that's when Mel makes what certainly can be reasonably interpreted as another death threat, telling Oksana: "Threaten ya? I'll put you in a f *ckin rose garden you c*nt! You understand that? Because I'm capable of it. You understand that?"

Now, Gibson could also face additional criminal charges based on two death threats heard clearly on the new audio.

These admissions by Gibson could also be a powerful piece of evidence against him in the criminal investigation that is headed for the district attorney's office and right now being conducted by the L.A. County Sherriff's Department. (ANI)
