The inmate who killed Jeffrey Dahmer apparently did it because of "bread & refined sugar."

Jeffrey Dahmer's behavior was just as unsettling in prison as it was on the outside. And it was that unsettling behavior that, on Nov. 28, 1994, prompted Christopher Scarver to beat the serial killer and another inmate to death, Scarver told the New York Post in an exclusive new interview.

Scarver -- who had been shopping his story around to book publishers after he emerged from 18 years in solitary confinement for the killings -- said he hated Dahmer for the cannibalism, and for his dark sense of humor. He told the Post that Dahmer would play disturbing jokes on other inmates at the Wisconsin prison, such as fashioning fake body parts out of prison food.

Dahmer was usually escorted at all times by a prison guard, but on the day he was killed, officers left him alone with Scarver and another inmate. The Post reports on the pair's fateful meeting:

In the interview with the Post, Scarver attributes his psychological problems to his diet, saying "certain foods I eat cause me to have a psychotic break -- bread, refined sugar."
