Man Caught on CCTV Defecating Behind House in Sennett Estate
Residents of Sennett Estate were left shocked after discovering human faeces behind their home, only to later confirm through CCTV footage that it was left by a stranger in the early hours of the morning.
The homeowner, Eric, shared that he first came across the mess while cleaning the backyard near his potted plants. At first, he thought it might be from a stray animal, but the size suggested otherwise. Curious, he decided to check his CCTV footage, which revealed the unsettling truth — a man had wandered into his alley at about 4.20am, dropped his pants, and defecated on his property.
Stranger Used Leaf to Wipe Before Leaving
The clip reportedly showed the man casually strolling in with an umbrella before squatting next to the plants. In the midst of relieving himself, he looked around nervously, then reached for a leaf nearby to wipe himself before leaving the scene. The entire incident lasted barely a minute, but it left behind an unpleasant surprise for the household.
Eric said his family only uncovered what had happened two days later when they spotted the remains while doing routine cleaning. They were horrified by the discovery and disgusted by the man’s behaviour. “We were shocked when we saw the footage. It was definitely not from a cat or dog — way too big. That’s when we realised it was a person,” he explained.
No Police Report Filed, But Residents Want Awareness
Despite the shocking act, Eric chose not to lodge a police report. Instead, he shared the incident to raise awareness among fellow residents and to discourage similar “drive-by dumping” from happening again.
What troubled him the most was having to personally clean up the faeces and disinfect his backyard, which he described as a distressing task.
Incidents like this raise concerns about hygiene and safety in residential estates. Human waste poses serious health risks as it can spread bacteria and diseases. Residents in similar areas are advised to keep an eye on their surroundings, review CCTV coverage, and secure back alleys where possible.
Such bizarre acts may be rare, but they highlight the need for community vigilance in maintaining cleanliness and ensuring shared spaces remain safe and liveable.
