The police in Mchinji are keeping in custody Glandisoni Feliyala, aged 20 for allegedly having sex with a dog which is contrary to section 153(b) of the penal code.

According to Violet Jezale, aged 20, of Chikandila Village, Senior Chief Mkanda in Mchinji told the police at Chimwamkango Police Unit that her husband was caught red-handed in the act whilst having carnal knowledge with his pet.

She said that, on December 27, 2019, Glandisoni Feyala refused to go to bed the same time with her but after few hours of sleeping, the wife confusingly came out to look for her husband only to find him busy making love with his dog a thing which shocked and compelled her to seek guidance from neighbours.

“The wife together with other villagers tried to intervene but it is reported that Glandisoni picked the pet and ran away. Reports indicate that this was not his first time to be caught sleeping with his dog.” Inspector Kaitano Lubrino (PRO) narrated.

The following day, the issue was reported to police where the suspect got arrested.

“Upon being confronted, Glandisoni disclosed that sleeping with a dog was one of the ritual instructions given by a Karonga based witch doctor in for him to get rich.

The suspect has been charged with bestiality contrary to section 153 (b) of the penal code under unnatural offences and will appear before court soon.” Lubrino added

Glandisoni Feliyala hails from Malewa Village, traditional authority Gumba in Mchinji.
