Kenyan world record holder Agnes Tirop has been found stabbed to death at her home in the western town of Iten, with police treating her husband as a suspect.
The two-time World Athletics Championships bronze medalist, who finished fourth in the Olympic 5,000m final two months ago, was 25.
Last month, the now late Tirop with a stab wound on her stomach set the world record for a women’s only 10 kilometer road race in Germany.
A criminal investigation is now underway into her death, with police saying her husband has gone missing. END
