Former
TV queen Esther Arunga fixed her husband following the tragic death of their
three- year-son at their Kallangur home in Australia. Arunga’s statement is
said to have pointed fingers at her man, Quincy Timberlake according to our
source based at the Kenya embassy in Australia.
Being
Kenyan citizens, and with word the opposition was to raise the matter on the
parliament floor, the embassy had to follow the unfolding events keenly. We
have information that the embassy’s legal department and the Attorney General’s
office together with their foreign affairs counterparts have opened a general
file on the matter to avoid any blame.
Arunga
is likely to be the prosecution witness and that is why she was not arrested.
It is said Arunga, once a TV star in Kenya, in her statement upon
interrogation, claimed her husband had become violent and kept insisting the
child was not his as he had been born outside wedlock.
It
is a result of this that it was concluded their son died a painful death as per
her words.
Timberlake
was arrested last week and charged with murder by the Brisbane Magistrate’s
Court and was remanded in custody until his next court date on December 4 2014.
He could face life imprisonment or 30 years behind bars if found guilty of
murder.
Arunga
who is now said to making travel arrangements to Kenya is said to have recorded
statements with the police which directly implicated Timberlake to the boy’s
murder. It is on the strength of her statement that Timberlake was arrested and
is behind bars.
But
what is raising eyebrows among the sleuths is why during the time of the
initial police investigations, Arunga was seen on TV wearing an oversized white
cap, a black sweater and a grey dress. As she was being led to a waiting police
car, she pulled down the cap to cover her face from TV cameras. If she was
innocent or something fishy did not happen, why hide? Did she fear to be
associated with the child’s death? These are some of the questions that are
said to have emerged during the investigations.
The
investigators are also said to have delved into the bank accounts and the
living standards of the couple and concluded they lived from hand to mouth
contrary to the impression they portray on social media pulpits.
Traced
back to Kenya with the help of the Interpol were reports of Arunga and her
husband’s religious leaning and more briefs about the Finger of The Living God
sect which the state had blacklisted as a cult. It was on these grounds that
others are floating the theory of sacrificing the child to get riches. What
complicated matters was that upon the inquiry, the duo are claimed not to have
informed their relatives and friends back home of the tragedy of the child’s
death. Why they decided to keep the death secret raised more suspicions with
even conclusions that the child was killed to help them raise funds for
survival.
The
arrest of Timberlake follows an initial charge of murder after police alleged
that an autopsy conducted on Sinclair showed significant internal injuries
which they say is inconsistent with injuries of a fall from the stairs as
Timberlake told police. According to Australian police, Timberlake will
continue being held at the Brisbane Remand Prison for three weeks pending bail
application.
The
couple’s story was that the boy fell down the stairs while playing with his
two-year-old sibling at the Kallangur town house in Queensland. It has also
surfaced that the two- year-old is the child Quincy believes to have fathered.
He has always linked Joseph Hellon to the dead boy and at times, Wilson Malaba.
Malaba was the man Esther was engaged to before Hellon ‘prophesied’ that it was
Timberlake who was chosen by God as Esther’s husband. Malaba at one time said
their controversial church allowed group sex at the upmarket Nairobi Runda estate.
He was then kicked out.
Arunga
according to sources had reportedly admitted that Timberlake used to beat the
boy everyday and these severe beatings may have caused the death. It is alleged
that Timberlake never liked the son whom he abused as a bastard. It has been
concluded, Timberlake allegedly beat the boy before throwing him down the
stairs where he bled to death.
Sources
further revealed that immediately after the death of their son, Esther cut
links with Timberlake for a month. Other reports indicate that the two were not
together but stayed under the same roof. After the death, we have information
that Timberlake convinced Esther and they moved from their Goodfellows Road
town house in Kallangur to an unknown location with neighbours completely kept
in the dark. The couple was staying in a house where the weekly rentals
range between Sh22,500 to Sh31,500 which at times was difficult to come by.
It
had been reported that after the boy fell, he was given pain medication before
he was put to bed and when the boy’s condition worsened the couple called
paramedics. The paramedics were however unsuccessful upon which they involved
the police.
But
what is now worrying Timberlake’s lawyers paid by the Australian government as
stipulated in law in such murder cases is that Arunga has gone public and is
now revealing the inside story of their marriage life. To gag Arunga who is a
barrister from making further revelations, Timberlake’s lawyer Chris Ford
Advocates sent a warning to Arunga saying the Timberlake family requests
privacy during the trial time. Arunga studied law in Australia. Her uncle is
David Arunga who was recently recalled as Kenyan envoy to Cairo Egypt. He was
appointed to the plum slot by then prime minster
Raila Oding during the coalition government.
