In a bizarre case that has garnered attention, Thomas Chibande Phiri, a 28-year-old Malawian man, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor for having s£x with a ch!cken.
The Chipata High Court in Zambia delivered the sentence after Phiri was found guilty of committing the unnatural act in Chief Mnukwa’s area in Chipangali district.
According to court proceedings, Phiri was caught in the act by the ch!cken’s owner, Zandonda Phiri, who testified that he found the accused engaging in the unnatural act in the early hours of March 21, 2023. The convict attempted to flee but was apprehended by locals. Tragically, the ch!cken d!ed shortly after the incident, with a veterinary expert confirming that it suffered from shock due to penetration by a blunt object.
While Phiri claimed that he had strangled the ch!cken and inserted a finger in its anus to cause its d£ath, hoping to receive the dead chicken as compensation for unpaid wages, the court found his explanation unconvincing.
