Man convicted of having sex with goat

Fortune Moyo, a 23-year-old herdman at Wichlia Farm in Kwekwe, was last Friday convicted on his own plea of guilty to bestiality when he appeared before magistrate Letwin Rwoodzi.

The court heard that Moyo, a widower, was caught pants down being intimate with a she-goat on March 11 after he got sexually aroused on seeing the animals mating.

Moyo, who claimed to have been possessed by evil spirits, chased away the he-goat and took over its role before he was caught in the act by another herdman identified as Panashe Mutorindo.

Mutorindo reported the matter to the owner Berinos Sadauchi, who in turn made it a police case, leading to Moyo's arrest. The court remanded him in custody to March 17 for sentence.
