RAJESH BALDEO went to court yesterday charged with having sex with his neighbour's goat.
Baldeo, 20, was arrested on Monday, more than two weeks after the alleged act of bestiality at Corial Village, Williamsville.
The goat had to be slaughtered and the carcass disposed of.
But when Baldeo appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington yesterday, a medical certificate detailing the injuries to the goat was tendered as evidence.
Baldeo was not called upon to plead.
Bestiality cases are indictable and trials are heard before judge and jury in the High Court.
Baldeo was charged by Constable Lyndon Abraham of the Gasparillo Police Station. First Court police prosecutor Joey Samaroo is prosecuting. Baldeo, a fabricator of Kumar Village, Williamsville, was granted bail of $15,000.
He will next appear in court on June 22.
