On July 19, 2019, a Nairobi court handed down a 10-month sentence to former TV anchor Esther Arunga, who was accused of being involved in the murder of Quincy Timberlake.
However, the outcome of the case has brought little comfort to Timberlake's mother, Roselyn Wambitta. Speaking at her home in Mbeme, Kisumu county, Wambitta expressed her deep-seated anger and pain over the verdict.
‘’I have no reason to celebrate Arunga’s victory concerning the murder case against my son even if she is happy. She knew she was going to win the case from the beginning,” lamented Wambitta.
Wambitta claims that Arunga's presence in her family was the beginning of their troubles. She alleged that Arunga broke her son's family, introduced him to the Finger of God Church, and was now telling the court a different story on the murder case.
Wambitta also expressed her frustration over the lack of attention given to her son's well-being. ‘’I have neither spoken nor heard about my son. Everyone is talking about Arunga, but what about my son? Is he okay, how is he coping with the situation, what about his sickness, is anything being done?” posed Wambitta.
She has, however, vowed to embark on a journey to bring back her son's first wife, Rose Mueni, home, terming her as her son's true love.
