The face of a murder accuse, Ibrahim Kipkemoi Rotich
Ibrahim Kipkemoi Rotich, the husband of the late Kenya athlete, Agnes Tirop has been arrested after being on the run. Information gathered from various Kenyan sources revealed that the union of Ibrahim Kipkemoi Rotich and Agnes Tirop had been tension soaked before the death of the25 year old athlete.
Sports Village Square gathered from the YouTube channel of NTV Kenya that the late athlete’s father, Vincent Tirop disapproved the wedding proposal when it was brought up in 2016.
According to another Kenya source, Tuco.co.ke, Agnes Tirop’s younger sister Everlyne Chepng’etich who live with the athlete and her husband, believed the athlete may have been killed on Monday.
She revealed that “there was a knock on the gate on Tuesday around 8am. I opened and came face to face with a woman who entered without uttering a word. She talked to Rotich for about five minutes before leaving,” Daily Nation quoted Chepng’etich as saying.
Chepng’etich said Tirop did not come out of the house on the said date and suspects she could have been killed on Monday, October 11, night as she heard a commotion in the master bedroom. However, Rotich told her she was well and sent her to buy meat but since she had other errands she left the house.
“At about I.pm, Rotich, (the late athlete’s husband) called, inquiring if I had returned. He asked me not to pass by the house, claiming he and Agnes had left for Nairobi,” she recounted. On Tuesday evening, Chepng’etich told her parents about Tirop’s absence.
