Relatives of the 40-year-old called in police after alleging to have caught him in the act.

Local reports said they told cops he regularly used to try to have intercourse with animals including hens.

He is understood to suffer from alcoholism and is expected to undergo a psychological evaluation to determine whether he should face trial or be spared a criminal investigation and instead receive urgent medical treatment.
