Esther Arunga's Husband Accused of Killing Son

Former Kenyan presidential candidate and husband to Esther Arunga - Quincy Timberlake, was accused of killing their son, Sinclair, in 2014.

Mr Timberlake faced a committal hearing in Brisbane, Australia on Monday where the various details of the case were revealed as he is set to be tried for the murder of his 3-year-old son.

One of the first respondents to the emergency call - Jennifer Pearce who worked as paramedic made her testimony at the Brisbane Magistrate's Court.

According to The Brisbane Times, Pearce revealed that she was taken aback by just how calm the victim's father was throughout the entire ordeal.

"I was just surprised how calm he was. He didn't speak fast, he wasn't rushed in his thoughts," she disclosed.

She went on to reveal that together with her colleague - David Wherry, they had tried cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for close to 25 minutes but Sinclair was never to breathe again.

Also speaking during the committal hearing, a friend of the family - Christina Carroll, gave a damning testimony in which she told the court she had noticed straight line cuts on Sinclair's forehead months earlier. 

"To me it looked like he'd been cut with a razor or a knife, it was discoloured like it'd been healed," she revealed.

She stated that upon inquiring the source of the bizarre markings, Ms Arunga claimed that Sinclair had fallen down a staircase.

The witness told the court Ms Arunga appeared 'bewitched' when she returned home and made comments about zombies invading the world and eating people.

"She talked about voodoo and other occult stuff, it was crazy," Ms Carroll divulged.

Back in 2010, Mr Timberlake announced he would run for the Kenyan presidency under a political party called PlaCenta Party (Platinum Centraliser and Unionist Party) of Kenya.

He formed the party with his wife, a former lawyer and popular TV news anchor (Esther Arunga), and renown saxophonist Joseph Hellon.

The committal hearing is expected to run until Tuesday according to the Australian Associated Press.
