French ‘Hannibal’ gets another 30 years in prison

A FRENCH prisoner dubbed “Hannibal Lecter” was yesterday sentenced to serve another 30 years in jail for killing his cellmate and devouring his lung.

Nicolas Cocaign has admitted to beating and stabbing Thierry Baudry with a pair of scissors before smothering him with a rubbish bag in the prison in the northwestern city of Rouen in January 2007.

In a sensational four-day trial, the 38-year-old testified that he cut open Baudry’s chest with a razor blade and ripped out the lung, eating part of it raw before frying the rest with onions on a camping stove in his cell.
