An odd job painter and decorator who stabbed a man to death and then chopped out his heart and ate it has apologised to the family of his victim. Andrew Chimboza, 35, from the town of Gugulethu, in western South Africa, flew into a rage after he went to a friends house to check up on some work he had done and was confronted by her jealous boyfriend, who accused him of sleeping with her. Picking up a fork Chimboza plunged it into 30-year-old victim Mbuyiselo Manonas neck before slitting his throat. As he lay bleeding to death, Chimboza then took a knife and gouged out his heart before eating it. Appearing in court, Chimboza told the judge: "I am sorry for what I have done and I have genuine remorse. "I was so shocked at what the deceased had accused me of I let him hit me but that then made me angry so I kicked him between the legs, grabbed a fork and stabbed him. "I then took a knife and slit his throat and continued to stab him. "I was so angry that I did not remember how many times I stabbed him or where." He then explained he had chopped out the mans heart because it was "full of hatred and jealousy". He said: "I do not know why I ate it and I accept my actions were wrong and exceeded the boundaries of self-defence." Prosecutor Jacqueline Sibiya said: "Because the removal of the heart was not the cause of death per se, it does not therefore have too much bearing on the plea of murder. It is nonetheless very disturbing." The man faces life in jail. (ends) , — Pic shows: Andrew Chimboza

A murderer who ate his victim’s heart with a knife and fork in a bizarre bid ‘to prove he wasn’t gay’ has been jailed for 18 years in South Africa.
Zimbabwean Andrew Chimboza pleaded guilty to stabbing 62-year-old Mbuyiselo Manona to death at the home of Manona’s lover in Cape Town’s Gugulethu township in June last year.
When officers arrived at the scene they found the 35-year-old ‘busy eating’ Mr Manona’s heart
Mr Manona had reportedly accused Chimboza of having sex with his partner , News24 said, and had attacked the younger man in a fit of rage.
But Chimboza apparently overpowered him – allowing him to commit the horrendous crime.
‘I then took a knife and slit his throat and continued to stab him,’ Chimboza told Cape Town High Court in February.
‘I was so angry that I did not remember how many times I stabbed him or where.’
In a statement read out at an earlier hearing, Chimboza shed more light on the shocking killing.
‘I sit upon him and stabbed him on the chest, tore out his heart and took a knife and then sliced his heart and then I ate his heart,’ he said.
‘The reason for me to eat the unknown guy’s heart was to show him that I am not a moffie [gay] and after I finished eating the heart, I realised he was dead.’
