The husband to former Kenya’s World 10 KM women’s race champion Agnes Tirop who was has been found dead at her Eldoret home has been arrested in Mombasa.
Ibrahim Rotich who immediately went into hiding after the incident is the prime suspect in the killing according to police.
He was arrested Thursday evening in Changamwe as he tried to flee to a neighbouring country.
“The suspect is being grilled by detectives at Changamwe Police Station before being arraigned to answer to murder charges,” a police statement read in part.
The athlete was in a strained relationship with the suspect before her death.
Ms Tirop, last month, broke the World’s record during the Road to Records Race in Germany after finishing in 30minutes and one second.
