Some disturbing news from Australia’s southernmost state this month with a couple charged with bestiality offences after allegedly filming videos involving themselves having sex in a cemetery and performing a sex act with a live trout.
The story emerged after two depraved videos began circulating and were sent to the local newspaper, The Mercury.
Local media reported that 57-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man, both from Tasmania, were charged with bestiality and conducting prohibited acts in a cemetery.
They are expected to appear in court at a later date.
Bestiality Charges over Videos of Sex Act Involving a Trout
The Mercury reported that:
“One of the clips shows a woman wearing nothing but an unbuttoned orange shirt as she lays on top of a grave at a cemetery in Cressy, southwest of Launceston’
“Her companion then walks towards her and begins having sex with her, making the vile comment: ‘Well, there’s someone’s grave. It’s a grave babe. We’re going to f**k on the grave, that’s where it’s at.’
“The woman then replies: ‘To the souls of the faithfully departed, may they rest in peace’.”
In the second clip containing the sick act involving the fish, which appeared to have been filmed in a boat on a lake, the man is reported to say ‘That’s how you catch a trout’.
In a story that certainly scales new heights for weirdness as the grave the couple romped on belonged to a well known landscape artist, David Hammond Chapman.
Fishy Tasmanian tale sets new low
The island state of Tasmania is famed for the quality of it’s trout fishing with lakes and rivers teeming with wild brown trout.
It is also a state with a dark past in terms of its colonial history as a penal colony and the savagery associated with that.
Educational standards in Tasmania and standards of living are lower than the mainland.
And while by and large, Tasmania is a friendly and welcoming place, occasionally incidents of strange and shocking crimes occur.
