Nyumba Kumi Chairman, John Maridany said that the shocking revelation has left the residents living in fear for their health.
The suspect was frog matched to Mulot police station where he is being detained.
'We busted him in the act, he had served himself fried dog meat and kept remains safely in the bush probably for the following day," Maridany stated.
Maridany added that the suspect failed to reveal where he got his stock of dog meat.
"He refused to reveal where and how he slaughtered the dog meat but we realised that he targets stray dogs in Mulot town since the stray dogs have been reducing in number,” he added.
