Police in Samfya are holding one suspect for the offence of Bestiality.
The suspect who has been identified as John Chipulu aged 30 of Mashimi village in Mansa district is alleged to have had canal knowledge of a She goat.
Zambia Police Deputy Public Relations Officer Danny Mwale tells Byta FM that the incident occurred between October 27, 2022 around 21:00 hours and October 28, 2022 at around 05:00 hours at Mashimi village in Mansa District.
“Police investigations revealed that in September 2022 the owner of the goat identified as Bebiana Ngosa asked her neighbour to be keeping her She goat which was a kid. The goat was kept and always tied to a tree close to the house,” narrates Mwale.
“On October 28, 2022 around 05:00 hours, the goat was discovered dead and untied from the tree with visible human footprints around.”
Mwale reveals that community members then started following the footprints which led to the suspect’s house who admitted to have stolen the goat and took it to his house where he had canal knowledge of it and later pushed a stick in its v@gina causing it to die instantly.
“Police officers took the goat for post-mortem and results revealed that there was evidence of s*xual penetration on the goat’s an@s and v@gina.”
The suspect is in Police Custody waiting for court appearance.
