A CONVICTED killer pulled out his only good eye - and then told horrified officers he had eaten it.
Death row inmate Andre Thomas was found in his cell at the Polunsky Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice with blood on his face last month.
Thomas, who was rushed to hospital, told officers he had pulled his left eye out and eaten it.
The 25-year-old, who has a history of mental problems, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts had been ripped out.
