Cannibal killer who ate cellmate's lung Nicolas Cocaign ate part of his cellmate's lung In a gruesome incident, a French prisoner allegedly killed his cellmate and then sliced open his chest with a razor blade to remove and eat his heart, a court was told. But, the man allegedly removed the wrong organ and ate his lung by mistake. 39-year-old Nicolas Cocaign 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 then suffocating him with a rubbish bag. 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 his lung, The Daily Telegraph reported. He is accused of eating part of the lung raw and then frying the rest of it with some onions, olive oil, salt and pepper on a portable camping stove which the prisoners are to use in cells of the Rouen prison. A lawyer representing victim, Thierry Baudry, chatting with Baudry's relatives before the start of proceedings at the Rouen criminal court "I wanted to take his soul," The Daily Mail quoted him as telling an investigating judge. Angry about the way Baudry kept blocking the toilet they shared with paper, Cocaign who at the time of the crime was in custody awaiting trial for attempted armed robbery, confronted him and was met with a "dirty look which was very aggressive". The two started fighting, with Cocaign punching Baudry at least a dozen times in the face and stomach, before stabbing him with a pair of scissors. The entire barbaric incident was witnessed by a third cellmate, David Lagrue, 36, who had initially tried to separate Cocaign and Baudry when they started fighting. Lagrue was so traumatised by what happened that he ended up committing suicide in another prison in November 2009. A verdict in the trial is expected on Thursday.
