An individual named Boniface Mutuku Munyao from Kangundo in Machakos County, Kenya, was presented before a Kangundo Magistrate’s Court on Thursday January 9. Munyao is accused of participating in bestiality with a female dog before causing the animal’s demise.
The suspect’s last sexual encounter with the dog happened on Wednesday January 8, after which he strangled the animal with a rope. He was apprehended following complaints from neighbors who reported hearing the dog’s distress during the night.
It was reported that Munyao’s neighbors entered his residence after a foul odor was detected coming from the building on Thursday January 9. A neighbor informed the authorities;
“We found used condoms and the dog’s carcass in his house.”
The area chief, Bethwel King’ele, supported the claim by stating;
“He was found having sex with the dog after some neighbors 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.
“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.”
Addressing the incident, Mateta area chief Bethel Kingele expressed suspicion that Munyao might have been under the influence of hard drugs while carrying out the unnatural act.
Upon being arraigned before Magistrate D. Orimba, the accused denied the charges and was released on Ksh100,000 cash bail. The case is scheduled for mention on January 22.
