A GRADE eight pupil who was allegedly apprehended by security guards in the act of bestiality with a cat is to be transferred to a mental hospital for 30 days’ observation. Magistrate David Mahongo noted that the original order for mental observation had been ignored, following which Elite Ntjana, 18, who was visiting his father in the Jeppe area at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty to the charges. Probation officer Evelyn Dineka told the court he had never displayed “any strange tendencies toward the family dog and cat”. Ntjana, aged 17 at the time of the incident earlier this year, had told her that he dragged the cat out from under a car when he was “overcome by the urge”. Apparently the cat scratched him, after which he killed it. Ntjana also claimed that he had not actually achieved penetration.
