A-38-year-old man of Ndola’s farm block 1, Mukolwe Area has been arrested for bestiality (having sex with a she goat).
Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer Peacewell Mweemba said that on July 30, 2023 at Janerich farm around 23:00hrs whilst Kennedy Sileke 32, the farm Manager was in his house asleep at the farm.
He was awakened by his wife who told him to go and check on the goat pen as there was a strange noise coming from the shelter.
Mr Mweemba said that he then went out to check and was surprised to find the door to the goat pen which was closed was wide open and a goat crying from a nearby bush.
He said when Sileke followed the direction of the noise and when he drew closer, he saw a person who was half naked in an act of having sex with a goat despite it crying so loud.
“He then went and pulled him and noticed that it was his neighbor whom he identified as Mwape Mwabela.
“The suspect became unruly and violent as he tried to free himself however the complainant managed to overpower him and in the process the suspect was beaten and with the help of the complainant’s wife the suspect was taken to Jacaranda Villa Police Post but due to the injuries he sustained as he tried to free, “ he said.
Mr Mweemba said the suspect was taken to Ndola Teaching Hospital for medical treatment by the Police and has been admitted and is currently on Police guard.
The she goat has since been medically examined by the veterinary doctor whose findings are consistent with the alleged offence.
