A
middle-aged man, Boniface Mutuku Munyao, from Kangundo in Machakos County of
Kenya was arraigned before a Kangundo Magistrate’s Court on Thursday January 9,
for allegedly engaging in bestiality with a female dog before killing it.
The
suspect’s last sexual act on the dog was on Wednesday January 8, after which he
strangled the animal with a rope. He was reportedly arrested after neighbours
made a complaint of hearing the dog yelping at night.
It was
gathered that Munyao’s neighbours broke into his house after a foul smell
emanated from the building on Thursday January 9.
A neighbour told the police; “We found used
condoms and the dog’s carcass in his house.”
The area
chief, Bethwel King’ele who backed the claim said; “He was found having sex
with the dog after some neighbours noticed a foul smell in the abandoned
homestead which belongs to his grandmother.
“In his own
confession, the man said he ‘defiled’ the dog for several days and later
strangled the animal to death using a rope.
Dozens of
used condoms were also recovered from the scene.
Commenting
on the incident, Mateta area chief Bethel Kingele said it was suspected Munyao
was under the influence of hard drugs while engaging in the unnatural act.
Chief Kingele
said“That is a very shameful and an ungodly act which we cannot tolerate in
society. Those claiming the man is of unsound mind should also tell us why he
decided to use condoms on the dog”
The man who
denied the charges against him after being arraigned before Magistrate D.
Orimba, was freed on Ksh100, 000 cash bail. The case will be mentioned on
January 22.
