By Terrence Mawawa Masvingo|A prominent Zvishavane motor vehicle mechanic who was caught having sex with a donkey claims the act was a remedy for a ‘deadly’ Sexually Transmitted Infection(STI).
Police records seen by ZimEye.com show Denis Muteyo (44) is on line to appear in court facing bestiality charges.
According to the police report, Muteyo was driving his motor vehicle past Tawona Bottle Store in Zvishavane on January 29 when he spotted four donkeys grazing at night.
He parked his motor vehicle, disembarked and advanced towards one of the donkeys and had sex with it, the report narrates. Police say the donkeys had been left unattended by the owner as he walked away to drink beer.
“Muteyo was caught red handed sex with a donkey around 2300hours when the owner of the donkeys intercepted him. He even tried to bribe the owner,” read the police report.
Muteyo claimed the act was meant to cure a sexually transmitted ailment(HIV) he was suffering from. He further claimed a traditional healer had advised him to have sexual intercourse with the donkey so that he would be immediately cured.
The case has left the local community stunned since Muteyo is a prominent mechanic in the area. Such cases have been on the increase with people getting involved in bizarre rituals.
