On June 17, 2014, a tragic event occurred in the life of Esther Arunga and her family. Her husband Quincy Timberlake would go on to confess to killing their son Sinclair, a revelation that has left Kenyans in shock.
According to Arunga's testimony in an Australian court, she had gone to the bathroom on the night of the incident, only to return and find Quincy hitting Sinclair in the stomach. Her pastor, a co-founder of Finger of God, was present and allegedly told Quincy, 'there's a devil in Sinclair's stomach, I have to get it out.'
Arunga, a 38-year-old lawyer, had initially lied to paramedics that Sinclair had fallen down the stairs. Her confession has sparked a mix of reactions from Kenyans back home, with some expressing sympathy and others calling for justice.
As Arunga awaits sentencing on Thursday, many are left to wonder about the circumstances surrounding Sinclair's death and the events that led to Quincy's confession.
