A 29-year-old man escaped lynching last Wednesday after he was mobbed by residents of his area for bestiality.
John Mwaura was reportedly caught pants down after he sneaked in the compound to engage in the unnatural act with a neighbour’s cow in Bahati Nakuru in Kenya.
It was gathered that the owner of the cow had gone to the farm to harvest her crops, but came back and found the man zipping up his pair of trousers. She attacked him with blows, stones, and sticks, leaving him with critical injuries before others joined her.
When he was interrogated by the locals, the bachelor confessed, saying it was the fifth cow he had accosted sexually.
“It is not my first time. I have had sex with four other cows in Ndunduri and Wanyororo. I am pleading for mercy,” he said.
“Don’t kill me…let me surrender my piece of land to pay for the cow,” Mwaura said.
“I always have sex with the cow whenever I feel like because I fear girls might infect me with HIV.”
The man further said he is not married adding that he was overwhelmed by the urge to have sex was asked to compensate the woman with another cow as the villagers who said it was a taboo for the defiled animal to remain in the compound.
It was gathered that Mwaura was whisked to Wanyororo police station, where he is expected to be questioned before he is charged.
