Man who raped neighbor's goat to death tells why he did it

 A man who was nearly lynched to death by an angry mob after he raped a goat says he had sex with the animal because he was rejected by women.


Gabrielle Simiyu was caught in the act by his neighbour late at night and angry residents claimed it wasn't the first time the motorcycle taxi operator had violated farm animals in their village.

They claimed the 26-year-old had previously engaged in sex acts with a cow and chicken.
Simiyu was arrested after the female goat's owner, Richard Wanyonyi, heard bleating and checked his shed in the village of Nangwe, Kenya, on Friday night.

He told KU TV :

"I thought my animals were strangling each other so I tiptoed to the cow shed and flashed my torch.I was shocked when I found the man but he ran away very fast.
"Since it was at night I did not see him very well so I took the shoes he left behind and began a search in the morning."

Kenyan media said Simiyu admitted having sex with the animal and pleaded for forgiveness.

He said:

 "I have a serious problem and need help. Every time I approach a girl she refuses and it really pains me."I am appealing to well-wishers to take me to a doctor or a specialist so the problem I have can be identified."

Mr Wanyonyi claimed Simiyu told him he had been rejected by women at a funeral earlier that night.
