TOULOUSE, France, Nov 15, 2013 (AFP) - A young homeless man who claimed he heard voices in his head killed a 90-year-old villager in southern France and then ate his tongue and heart, officials said Friday.
The 26-year-old went into his victim s house on Thursday evening in the sleepy hamlet of Nouilhan, home to some 200 people, and bashed open his victim s head with an iron rod, investigators said.
He ripped out the man s heart and tongue, ate them, and then burnt the body. After that, he set fire to the house and the flames alerted the victim s son, who lives nearby.
Prior to his arrest, the youth also attacked another man, hitting him against a tractor in the village, located near the border with Spain.
