Esther Arunga's Husband Quincy Timberlake Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison Over Son's 2014 Death in Australia

Esther Arunga's Husband Quincy Timberlake Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison Over Son's 2014 Death in Australia

Former Kenyan presidential candidate Quincy Timberlake has received an 11-year jail sentence for the tragic death of his three-year-old son.

The incident occurred in 2014 in Brisbane, Australia, where Quincy was accused of causing the death. While initially facing a murder charge, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. During the court proceedings, Quincy's defence team argued for a more lenient sentence, suggesting deportation or detention after his visa was denied. the plea was denied by Supreme Court Justice Paul Freeburn. His outright rejection conveyed an understanding of the solemnity surrounding the case.

Consequently, he sentenced Quincy to 11 years in prison. Justice Freeburn acknowledged Quincy's extended pre-trial custody, reducing the sentence to two years. Recounting the events of that fateful night, Justice Freeburn highlighted how Quincy's ex-wife Esther Arunga Esther Arunga heard a commotion inside their residence and discovered their child lying unconscious at the foot of the stairway that fateful night.

In the house, Arunga heard loud thuds that startled her enough to leave the bathroom immediately. Much to her shock, she witnessed her husband striking their son forcefully in the stomach. Crown prosecutor Clayton Wallace provided various explanations for Quincy's actions, including the assertion that he was attempting to rid his son of evil. Quincy, on the other hand, defended himself by informing the emergency response team that his son had fallen down the stairs and must have stepped on his back after the fall.

    The judge was too lenient. This murderous deranged animal needs nothing less than a life sentence as a lesson to other unhinged fake priests. Religion has outlived it's purpose today and only a few people still believe in the make believe trash propagated and spewed by the preachers

    Roman Catholic is a mixer of Paganism & Christianity.
    The Picture of Mary holding a child is the picture of Queen of Heaven. Baby Jesus is the picture of Semiramis. Lent is the 40 days they spend mourning the death of Semiramis who was killed by wild pig..........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZgON3DFM6Y

    I have always wondered why some people say" Thank God for saving me life", when an' act of God strikes' and hundreds die sparing him/her...
    Religion help mankind feel like there i something,or someone who could help,or offer a solution to whatever problem they are incapable of solving.It does not matter if the"something" is irrational".
    All known human societies have had their own form or religion.Therefore it is disingenuous to claim that one is better than the other. If a break my leg into two,there in no religion on earth that can Miraculously rejoin the two pieces together.We read that Jesus cured ablind man, a cripple.Ask why it does not happen anymore,and you will get unsatisfactory responses.
