The husband of two-time world championship bronze medallist Agnes Jebet Tirop has been arrested for her murder, Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said on Thursday night.
"The prime suspect in the gruesome murder of 25-year-old ... Agnes Tirop, has been arrested," the DCI said in a tweet., reports dpa international.
Tirop took world bronze over 10,000 metres in 2017 and 2019, and finished fourth in the 5,000m at the Tokyo Olympic Games this summer.
She also set the world record for the women-only 10-kilometres earlier this year and was world cross country champion in 2015 when aged only 19.
"Kenya has lost a jewel who was one of the fastest-rising athletics giants on the international stage, thanks to her eye-catching performances on the track," AK said on Wednesday.
