A 60-year-old Kisii County resident is scheduled to face charges in court for alleged bestiality.
After his wife discovered him acting indecently with their family dog at their Mosocho Village home, Fredrick Macarios was taken into custody.
The man left his wife inside the house on Sunday night around one in the morning, according to a police report on the incident.
A little while later, the wife says she heard their dog's strange cries, which scared her enough to leave the house to investigate.
