Pricey goat testicles: Chinese woman accused of stealing and exporting goat testicles worth Sh6million charged
Drama played out at Kiambu Law Court when a court session was thrust into a hysterical amazement after a Chinese national has been accused of stealing and exporting goat testicles worth over Sh6million.
While appearing before Senior Principal Magistrate Manuela Kinyanjui, charges were read out to Lei Yunyan that she allegedly illegally shipped the testicles out of the country but she denied the charge.
According to the charge sheet, Yunyan is accused on diverse dates between September 1, 2021, and November 23, 2022, by means of a fraudulent device obtained goat testicles worth Sh6,026,775 from one Marsa Goto Ado.
She was directed to deposit an Sh500,000 cash or an alternative Sh1million bond to secure her freedom.
The suspect was also ordered to deposit her passport and travel documents with the court awaiting trial.
Prosecutor Lindsey Mugambi opposed attempts by Yunyan an accountant to be given a free bond saying being a foreigner she is likely to be a flight risk.
“I urge the court to take into consideration the gravity of the matter and the amount of money involved,” Mugambi told the court.
But in her defence, the accused urged the court to free her on bail since she was expectant.
Mugambi said five witnesses are set to testify in the case once the trial begins.
The magistrate directed the matter to be mentioned on April 5, 2023 for further directions.
