Kenyan Olympic Athlete Agnes Tirop Found Dead; Police Declares husband as Main Suspect
Kenyan Olympic star, Agnes Tirop, has been found dead in her home after she was allegedly stabbed by her husband.
The 25-year-old who represented Kenya in the 5,000m women’s finals at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics in Japan was found dead in her home on the 13th of October, 2021.
“Her husband is still at large, and preliminary investigations tell us her husband is a suspect because he cannot be found. Police are trying to find her husband so he can explain what happened to Tirop.” Says Tom Makori, head of Police in the region.
Tirop made history with 28 seconds off the long-standing, women-only world record for 10km at the Adizero Road To Records event in Germany.
