A MURDERER dubbed the vampire killer after he drank his best pal's blood and ate his skull has been found dead in prison.
Allan Menzies, 23, was found hanged in his cell at Shotts Prison in Lanarkshire yesterday morning.
He was jailed in October 2003 after being convicted of bludgeoning his friend to death.
During his trial, the court heard he had drunk Thomas McKendrick's blood from a whisky glass and then eaten a part of his skull. Judge Roderick Macdonald QC branded Menzies an 'evil and dangerous psychopath' and recommended he serve at least 18 years in prison.
The former security guard, of Fauldhouse, West Lothian, claimed he was ordered by a vampire character from the horror film Queen Of The Damned to kill McKendrick.
Menzies carried out the attack, during which he battered and stabbed his childhood friend, at his home in December 2002.
Giving evidence at his trial at the High Court in Edinburgh, Menzies said: 'If you do not murder someone, then you do not become a vampire.'
After killing McKendrick, Menzies dumped the body.
Police raided his home and found notes in which Menzies claimed to be a vampire.
Sentencing him, the judge told him: 'You are an evil, violent and highly dangerous man.'
Yesterday, a spokesman for the Scottish Prison Service said: 'A prisoner at HMP Shotts was found dead.
'A fatal accident inquiry will be held in due course.'
Ya gotta have a really good set of choppers to eat skull bone, huh?
How do you eat a skull? Maybe they meant the brain? Regardless, there are some pretty sick people out there.
BTW, can you imagine what this kid must have grown up around in order to be this demented at such a young age?

He should have stuck to watching 'Veggie Tales'.
Just watching promos
for it makes me want to eat
what's left of my brain . . .
LOL!
I grew up watching films like this and they never instilled the slightest urge in me to eat a woman's skull or her brains. But that's all I'll say . . . |
The skull is the crunchy part...mmm...
Hannibal the Cannibal wannabe.
LOL.I can't watch really gross movies and yes, I doubt that a movie like that would have the same effect on a sane person as it would a sick person.
EWWWW! LOL
