Esther Arunga, a 38-year-old Kenyan mother, was handed a 10-month jail term but freed on parole after conviction in the murder case of her son in Australia in 2014.

Published on July 18, 2019, the case drew significant attention in Australia, with Arunga's defense team presenting a unique perspective on the events leading up to the tragic incident.

According to Arunga's testimony, she had gone to the bathroom on the night of June 17, 2014, only to come out and find her son, Quincy, hitting her other son, Sinclair, in the stomach.

Arunga claimed that Quincy kept saying, 'THERE'S A DEVIL IN SINCLAIR'S STOMACH, I HAVE TO GET IT OUT.'

While the case has been resolved, it serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise in cases involving family dynamics and mental health.
