Man killed for having sex with donkey

A farmer has been arrested for killing a pervert who had sex with his prize donkey — while wearing lingerie and a pair of slippers. Police say Jose Gomes Pinto, 55, slashed the man's throat with a razor after discovering he had violated his favourite ass — a donkey named Russo.

Jaime Pires, 68, was found dead in a pool of blood wearing women's underwear in the village of Proenca-a-Velha, Portugal. Pires was known locally as Jaime Sheep because he regularly had sex with farm animals.



Local newspapers said Pires had started sleeping with animals 12 years ago before moving away. He recently returned to his home village and soon after locals accused him of having sex with chickens. Mayor Francisco Silva said the killing was "sad and regrettable".

He added: "I don't think there is anything behind it other than the animals." Pinto denied murder during an appearance at a court in nearby Idanha-a-Nova. He had earlier told reporters he had been out of the area when Pires was murdered.
