Inmate pulls out eye number two

For those of you who are faint-hearted, turn away now. A Texas inmate, jailed for murdering his wife, his son and his wife's 13-month-old baby, tore out his only good eye and ate it - five years after tearing out his right eye.

Death row inmate Andre Thomas, 25, was found with blood on his face in his cell and has now been transferred to a prison psychiatric facility in Houston. In 2004 at his original trial he was declared competent to stand trial despite having already pulled out his right eye.

This would seem to be a drastic way of showing mental instability -  most people in the UK usually appear on Big Brother.
