Quincy Timberlake Sentenced To 11 Years In Jail Over Son’s Death
On Friday, an Australian court jailed controversial Kenyan preacher Quincy Zumba Wambitta Timberlake for 11 years.
During the hearing, the court was told that Timberlake then carried a Bible and began to pray in the house, saying he was on a mission to find the devil.
Passing the sentence, Justice Paul Freeburn described the death as “brutal and incomprehensible”.
Timberlake, 43, was found guilty of manslaughter in an incident in which he was accused of punching his son in the stomach and then throwing him against a wall before declaring “the devil is gone now”.
Moments later, the son, identified as Sinclair, whose mother is former acclaimed television journalist Esther Arunga, died on his bedroom floor north of Brisbane in Australia. He died on June 18, 2014, at the age of three.
