A 31-year old man from Kamanamsim in Litein, Kericho county will be arraigned in court on Monday over claims of engaging sex with a calf.
Kennedy Lamar was arrested after he was caught in the act by the owner of the calf, Fancy Lagat.
According to a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the incident occurred at around 5am on Sunday morning.
Lagat raised alarm, bringing to the attention of the whole village about what was transpiring, after she was woken by her groaning calf.
“An alarmed Langat who thought a predator had attacked her livestock leapt from her bed, opened her door and stealthily tiptoed towards her cattle boma. Suddenly, she saw a dark silhouette of a man moving away from the groaning calf and took cover on the ground a few meters away,” DCI stated.
Out of curiosity, Lagat moved closer to the silhouette only to discover that the perpetrator was her brother-in-law Lamar, who was naked after having committed the abominable act.
“Dismayed villagers thronged the scene, as women watched the bizarre incident never witnessed in the village, from the periphery. They conversed in low tones, as they shook their heads in disbelief, while others tried to keep inquisitive children at bay. The kids had braved the early morning cold to catch a glimpse of the scene,” DCI’s statement further read.
Lamar was arrested by the locals and the area chief who escorted him to the Litein police station.
