Inmate rips out eye, then claims he ate it
A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye, authorities said Friday.
Andre Thomas told officers he ate it.
Thomas, 25, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts also had been ripped out. He was convicted and condemned for the infant's death.
While in the Grayson County Jail in Sherman, Thomas similarly had plucked out his right eye before his trial later in 2004. A judge subsequently ruled he was competent to stand trial.
A death-row officer at the Polunsky Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice found Thomas in his cell with blood on his face and had him taken to the unit infirmary.
"Thomas said he pulled out his eye and subsequently ingested it," agency spokesman Jason Clark said Friday.
Thomas was treated at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler after the Dec. 9 incident. Then he was transferred and remains at the Jester Unit, a prison psychiatric facility southwest of Houston.
"He will finally be able to receive the mental health care that we had wanted and begged for from day 1," Bobbie Peterson-Cate, Thomas' trial attorney, told the Sherman Herald Democrat. "He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one."
Thomas does not have an execution date.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in October upheld his conviction and death sentence for the death of 13-month-old Leyha Marie Hughes. Also killed March 27, 2004, were his wife, Laura Christine Boren, 20, and their son, Andre Lee, 4.
Thomas, from Texoma, walked into the Sherman Police Department and told a dispatcher he had just murdered the three and had stabbed himself in the chest.
Thomas told police how he put his victims' hearts in his pocket and left their apartment, took them home, put them in a plastic bag and threw them in the trash.
FIRST!!! Disgusting!
ewwww
He's a fukin demon from the pits of Hell. Some of you fuks are married to them and have no clue.heheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeewww of all the things to eat?!!
Houston is an amazing city, but it's only in the news for crazy shit. I live in Houston and read this on the local paper's website. So sad!! This guy needs help but the real victims are his wife and children whose hearts he ripped out. He is a monster.
He had already gouged out one eye, and this week he again mutilated himself. What does it take to convince the district attorneys and the prison authorities in Texas that a prisoner REALLY is mentally ill?
This story is shocking. This young man's problems should have been addressed some 5 years ago when he murdered his ex and two children and carved out their hearts.
Oh, the humanity.

Evil wins over crazy…
Well if you kill three people andvut out their hearts you are INSANE! Evil and without a conscience, but also insane. Sadly that probably wasn't the first time that he showed signs of severe mental instablility. A horrific crime and those poor kids and their mother had to suffer
What a sick motherfucker. Why is he only convicted of murdering the infant?? He murdered 3 people. Crazy bastard. Put him to death…NOW.
Did I mention what an ugly motherfucker he is?
upy'razzw/ablowtorch—> For the same reason you talk like a ghetto retard!
I often wonder how women let themselves get involved with such loons!! You know there had to be warning signs that this guy was insane. But she goes ahead and has a child with his anyway. I think women need to start being held accountable for the actions that they take that brings havoc into their lives and the lives of their families.
pulling out hearts and ripping out eyes and the judge couldnt see that he was insane? what was wrong with HIM?
what an awful human being, nonetheless. he definitely deserves where he is.

Just because a person is mentally insane, doesn't mean they still should not pay the price for crimes, they commit. The way I see it, he was SANE enough to report his crime to the police knowing what he did to his family was wrong! I have some sympathy, since he is mentally ill, and the stigma attached with it, but he still deserves to be on death row.
they should hurry up and kill this mother fucker - sick!!!!!!!!!!
Re: zurfergrlz – Still don't understand… put really don't care….
What I don't understand is, why would the government spend so much goddamn money on some insane guy who is more than likely going to kill himself anyway? Especially when the economy is in such bad shape. The man is a monster, he killed his wife AND his two children - savagely. Who says he deserves this treatment? I sure don't think he does. They should have done away with him 5 years ago when all this fucking happened. The world has no room for people like him.
STOP THE RACISM.. I'm sure it's part of his culture? Who are we to judge?
omggg that is crazyyy and gross!
he had to take out both eyes before getting mental help? thats texas
OMG! I just can't believe this! What is going on with some people today? Why are certain people becoming so insane they would do this? I can see (but don't approve of) adults killing adults. (Affairs, defending themselves, etc) BUT HARMING CHILDREN? WTF. Then this sick b@$turd comes along. Insane or not, he deserves to die.
:|
:|:|
WTF??? Was he hungry???
Tastes lovely with Chianti and some fava beans…….
WOW…
he deserves the death penalty. How can you rip out your SMALL children's heart? I hate fucking ppl like this.
OMG what a freak, Disgusting!
This is so sad. Crazy or not, he deserves death row!! People like this can't get better at this age!! He should have been taken to a doctor as a child!! Poor woman and kids!!
gross.
SICK. He shouldn't be allowed to reenter society, people like that will never get better.
The only right thing to do in this case is to make it mandatory for him to become an organ donor! Preferably the fresher the better! It's time he started to give back.
Re: SheriMoonZombie – Doesn't it say in THE HOLY BIBLE something about that if "one eye offends the other, pluck it it"? Aside from the horrible murders, couldn't his self-removal of his eye be compared to women's rights and abortion? I mean, it's his body.
Re: .perezhilton.com –
Woman's rights, heheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I know several girls that had abortions and guess the fuk what?
They are all whores. Drunken and junkie whores. I couldn't imagine someone putting a vaccum cleaner in my womb and hitting the on button. THE BIBLE SAYS ALOT OF THINGS, BUT WHO DOES THEM?
DR. SATAN GETS THE BABIES THAT ARE ABORTED, THINK ABOUT THAT YOU FUKIN SLUT WHOREDOGS.HEHEHHEEEEEEEEEEEE
ahah hes mental!
He still deserves the death penalty. Gives eye for an eye a new meaning.
Wouldnt you consider him mentally unstable after he first removed one eye?
Well, i guess we texas do like to keep people on death row…
haha
Re: SheriMoonZombie –
Please learn how to spell words properly, and learn how to put a sentence together without using the word 'fuk'
at least try to sound the teeniest bit educated.
People like this should be executed to put them out of their own misery.
What a ferocious appetite….what will he request his last meal to be??? Maybe his scrotom with garlic butter.
wtf… just reading this made my eyes start hurting. they just need to euthanize that sick fuck.
Ok asshole, you're such a tough guy, pull out the other one.
Re: caroaber – His problems should have been addressed? Are you nuts?? There's no helping sick fucks like that, execute him already!
See No Evil!
holy shit! how the heck was he deemed competent to stand trial in the first place?
Good god that is disgusting. His poor wife & children.. how scary that they didn't even realise what a psycho they were living with. I think he should still be sentence no matter what his mental condition - I don't think anyone who commits such horrific crimes can ever been classed truly as 'sane' - theres got to be something wrong in your head to act in such an evil way.
That is absolutely insane!!!!!!
I kind of like it. The L@@K I mean? It's kind of like he is winking at you, all the time?
as european national it's unbelievable how a mentally ill person could be sentenced to death.
OMG! that is HORRENDOUS! ugh GAG!
That is UNREAL! I don't care if he's mentally ill or not, he heinously killed his family. Too bad death throw stretches aren't shorter. There's not a shrink in the world that could "cure" this guy.
SOCIOPATH MUCH??
how? why? gross
I will never cease to be amazed at the fucked up shit that happens in this neck of the woods. Makes a body embarrassed to be from TX.
crazy shit!
Re: alysssa – #45 Are you crazy??? Then we wouldn't know if it was our darling Sheri . . . we'd think it was a damn imposter. BTW she's probably a lot smarter than you - and than you realise.
Re: kathie! – LMFAO - Brilliant!!!! We need more comments like that. Genius.
WHY'S HE WINKING AT US!? IT'S FREAKING ME OUT!!!!
he forfeited his life by murdering innocent people in a state that doesn't take kindly for cold-hearted killers. the guy is obviously so afraid of paying for his crimes that he's willing to feign insanity by eating his own eyeball. whaddyou think? i think he's sane enough to realize he needs to make people think he's crazy in order to avoid the death penalty. there's no excuse for what he did to his family…
I live in dallas and whoever said houston is an amazing city is sadly mistaken, and actually this happened in sherman he was just transported to houston…but anyway to my original point, houston is the butthole of texas, and one of the most ghetto places to go to…
fucking sickooo! maybe he wants them to think he's insane so he wont be on deathrow?
Hate to say this but I would almost read more on Speidi than a story like this on your site. Save this stuff for Drudge.
What a sick nasty ass so-called humane being! He should die NOW!
i see nothing wrong with this.
He deserves everything he is getting! My best friend is the lady's cousin that he killed! I hope he sees what he did to them all the time now!
oh and to those who think he is insane, he said himself that he knew what he was doing! it was premeditated. he may be insane now but he wasn't at the time when he committed the murders!
Re: jaimestellar – only the 4 year old was his
Re: Team L.C. – i agree with you. i knew the woman and children he killed!
Could you just have waited until lunch?
