Former television presenter Esther Arunga was freed on bail Friday as details emerged that her husband killed their son thinking he was possessed.
The court granted Ms Arunga bond on the condition that she does not approach any airport or contact her husband.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the prosecution told the court that Quincy Timberlake, who has since been charged with murder, punched the three-year-old in the stomach.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Scott Pearson, told the court that at first Ms Arunga and her husband had told investigators that their son died after he fell down a flight of stairs.
Ms Arunga later changed her story and sent faxes saying her husband was mentally ill.
The former anchor told investigators that her husband punched their son hard on the stomach “while trying to expel demons and aliens”.
The prosecutor told the court that the son fell down and tried to hide behind her mother but Mr Timberlake picked him up and threw him into a wall, leaving dents.
According to the Australia Broadcasting Corporation, Sergeant Pearson said Ms Arunga told investigators she heard her husband yell: "Come out, come out you bloodsuckers. Tell Bill Gates no more scientific tests on our own as he did with the Guatemalans."Ms Arunga, the prosecutor said, picked up her son again but he was limb and lifeless.
The case will be mentioned on October 20, 2014.
Mr Timberlake was charged last week with the murder of their child, Sinclair Timberlake, on June 18 at their home in Kallangur in north Brisbane, Australia.
