Iloilo farmer molests, kills neighbor's goat

An 18-year-old farmer faces charges for allegedly sexually molesting – and killing - a two-year-old goat in Iloilo province following a drinking spree Sunday evening. Radio dzXL cited initial police reports showing the incident occurred at Sitio Tacas in Talacuan village in Leon town in Iloilo. Investigation showed Eliseo Minerva, the owner of the goat, was shocked to see the suspect, identified as Rogie Calamaan, sexually assaulting his pet at about 6 p.m. Police learned Calamaan went on a drinking spree after he finished planting rice last Sunday. The goat died after the assault, the report said. A separate report on Visayas-based Bombo Radyo said Calamaan admitted assaulting the goat, but said he was too drunk at the time. The report quoted Calamaan as saying he was going to gather the harvested rice when he saw the goat in a "prone" position, and took "interest." He said he strangled the goat when it tried to resist his advances. Calamaan is now facing charges of malicious mischief from the police. - GMANews.TV
