A ZIMUNYA man left the court dumbfounde­d after admitting being intimate to a cow “because all women were rejecting his love proposals”.

John Muchiriwes­i (24), from Nehwangura Village under Chief Zimunya in Mutare, appeared before magistrate Langton Mukwengi charged with bestiality.

Asked by the magistrate why he was intimate with a cow, the accused said he had no girlfriend.

“My Lord, all girls I am proposing are rejecting me. That was the reason why I decided to be intimate with the cow,” he said.

It is the State’s case that on March 26, 2021 at around 11am, the complainan­t, Simbarashe Nkomo, left his four cattle tied with a rope in the paddock grazing pasture and proceeded home.

On the same day, the complainan­t went to the paddock to check the cattle.

He saw the accused tying the cow’s legs to a tree using a rope. He removed his trousers and pants and become intimate with the cow.

When Muchiriwes­i saw the Nkomo heading towards his direction, he picked his clothes and ran away.

He will be back in court next week for judgment.
