DETECTIVES have charged a former Kenyan presidential candidate with the murder of his three-year-old son.
Quincy Timberblake was arrested by police in relation to the death of his son Sinclair in Kallangur, in Brisbane’s north.
Police were called to the townhouse about 2.30am on June 18, after ambulance officers were unable to resuscitate the boy.
Police will allege the child had “significant” internal injuries.
Investigations are ongoing.
Mr Timberlake, a political aspirant and controversial figure in his homeland, was a founder of the PlaCenta Party in Kenya, the name formed from the combination of “Platinum” and “Centraliser”.
He said he was granted asylum in Australia and left Kenya to save his life after being arrested and tortured while in custody on charges that were later dropped.
Upon arriving in Australia Mr Timberlake said he joined the Liberal National Party but later aligned himself with the ALP, posting photos at polling booths and with former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
