Quincy Timberlake is facing murder charges of his three-year-old son in an Australian court.
His wife, a former celebrated news anchor, Esther Arunga, has already been convicted to being an accessory to the murder and on Thursday handed a 10-month parole sentence.
Arunga, however, was released on parole after Queensland court observed she had 'suffered a lot' since the death of her son, Sinclair Timberlake, five years ago.
The former KTN news presenter confessed she saw Quincy punching the boy's stomach and hitting him against the wall in an attempt to exorcise 'demons' which he said had invaded him.
Quincy came to the limelight in 2010 after he got engaged and later married Arunga who was then the most influential TV girl.
He also made headlines for being a member of controversial Finger of God Church that was led by renowned jazz artist Joseph Hellon.
Quincy, Arunga and Hellon stirred controversy after they formed a political party which they named Placenta Party (Platinum Centralizer and Unionist Party) of Kenya.
Due to the publicity he got at the time, he was always invited for interviews and it was during a particular conversation with the Standard when he confessed he was once a member of the Freemasonry.
In an interview published on October 2010, Quincy said he joined the under-world cult due to poverty he encountered while staying in the United States of America.
"Just like many young black men in the US, after college, I started to juggle between odd jobs to make ends meet. I used to live in junkie cars because I couldn’t afford to pay house rent. I was desperate. That is how I found myself getting recruited to the Cash Church of God," Quincy said.
"The Cash Church of God has everything to do with most of the billionaires on Forbes list, celebrated American stars, business merchants and the who-is-who in America’s politics," he explained.
Quincy claimed he rose from abject poverty to being a member of the millionaire's club immediately after joining the secret group.
"On the first visit, I was paid a whooping $10 million (Sh800 million) after which I was told to sign-up as a member. Back then, I needed the money and overnight, I was living in dreamland. Literally, I had access to anything I needed. I could grace red-carpet celebrity ceremonies and rub shoulders with A-List celebrities," he recounted.
"I toured the world. That’s how I met Beyonce, Jay Z, Whitney Houston and the like. But little did I know I was already in Freemasonry and my date with destiny was beckoning," he added.
Quincy claimed he fled Washington and returned to Kenya in 2009 after senior members of Freemasonry threatened to sacrifice him.
"But finally, I came face to face with reality during a mission in Italy, just months after I was to be named a grandmaster. Finally, they wanted to sacrifice me," he alleged.
In an interview with K24 TV last week, Hellon said when he met Quincy in 2009, he confessed he had been in an underground cult and promised to quit.
“When Quincy, came to me and expressed his interest to join my church, he confessed to using witchcraft but promised to reform. I was happy to welcome him but later realised that he had lied about quitting,” Hellon said.
