Man widowed after his goat 'wife' chokes to death
daily mail uk ^ | 12-2013

A Sudanese man who married a goat was in mourning today after his wife died when she swallowed a plastic bag.

Charles Tombe shot to fame last year when he tied the knot with Rose.

A court ordered him to marry the beast "to save her honour" after he was caught making amorous advances toward the mother-of-one in the middle of the night.

Mr Tombe and Rose are believed to have lived happily ever after until her life was cruelly cut short.

The story, which became one of the world's best read tales, began in Juba, southern Sudan, in February last year when the BBC reported that the then owner of the goat, Mr Alifi, was awoken in the night by a strange noise.

Walking out of his traditional hut, he was confronted by the sight of Mr Tombe and Rose in a passionate embrace.

Today the Times reported that Mr Alifi said: 'When I asked him "What are you doing there?" he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Such a senseless, tragic waste of a plastic bag.

Rose was a mother of one, so therefore she had only one kid.

Yes I know. I snorted exactly 3 times. Not that I will admit it during an open session of congress.

I hope this husband has a good alibi.

He had an alibi, but the authorities said it was baaaaaaaad.

Well, I don't think the article said, but I assume she WAS a Muslim goat...

If he cremates his wife medium rare, she can always be a part of him.
