While appearing before Senior Magistrate Mwanamkuu Sudi Mbuba, he acknowledged to the court that he was caught by villagers in the act on Sunday. However he claimed that he had sought forgiveness from the family whose sheep had been assaulted.
The court heard how Mr Mutegi Mugo, the owner of the sheep, found the animal missing from his other flock. Upon searching, he found the accused sweating on it in a nearby tea farm where he had assumed that the tea would offer him camouflage.
The court also heard that a piece of a used condom was recovered at the scene after the accused fled leaving the innocent sheep tied on a tea plant.
The court was further told how upon interrogation by the villagers, the accused confessed that it was not the first time he had had carnal knowledge of animals including goats, cow and even chicken belonging to his neighbours.
Mr Joseph Mutembei, a villager from Mukungugu village told the media outside the court that when the accused was cornered, he said that he started having sexual intercourse with domestic animals five years ago and that he has no desire for women.
