A man has been accused of raping a goat in a field – after asking it permission for the vile act.

The animal’s owner initially suspected Kennedy Kambani was trying to steal the goat.

But when he returned with neighbours to nab the 21-year-old they caught him having sex with the creature in Malawi, Africa, he told police.

Police Inspector Lubrino Kaitano said: “The owner Mr Pemphero Mwakhulika thought Kambani was stealing it. So he alerted the people.

“When they arrived at the scene they were shocked to see him having sexual intercourse with the goat”.

Kambani was apprehended and taken to a police station and charged with bestiality.
