A French prisoner killed his cellmate then sliced open his chest to remove and eat his heart, a court has heard.
However, the man removed the wrong organ, and ate his lung by mistake.
Nicolas Cocaign, 39, appeared in court in the northern city of Rouen for allegedly killing Thierry Baudry in January 2007 by punching and kicking him, stabbing him with a pair of scissors and suffocating him with a rubbish bag.
Mr Cocaign then allegedly sliced open Baudry's chest with a razor blade, removed a rib and pulled out an organ which he believed was the man's heart, but which in fact was a lung.
He is accused of eating part of the lung raw and then frying the rest of it with some onions on a makeshift cooker in the cell in the Rouen prison.
"I wanted to take his soul," Mr Cocaign, who at the time of the crime was in custody awaiting trial for attempted armed robbery, allegedly told an investigating judge probing the case.
When you're trying to rip out someones heart and you pull out their lungs, wouldn't you be like "Hey, this doesn't look anything like a heart at ALL".

I read this today on the train back from Ext 2, in an mX I found on the seat, and that's what I thought too!
veri: slitt
to be fair, he only removed one rib and probably couldnt see what he was grabbing at the time.
To be fair, he was probably crazy as shit because he wanted to take his soul.
