In a testimony she gave on July 15, the ex-TV journalist confessed her husband "hit the boy's stomach repeatedly and threw him against a wall in a bid to rid him of demons", the news website added.
Reports say the revelation by Esther Adongo Arunga also known as Esther Timberlake confirmed the autopsy report which concluded that the child died "as a result of severe blunt force such as punching or stamping or similar”.
How could a woman worth her salt witness the murder of her own son by her husband and heartlessly choose to hide the truth? That is the question some people have been asking after the sentencing of Esther.
However, she told the court that it was an attempt to save her husband from being handed a severe sanction for the murder of her son.
