Police in Kenya have arrested the husband of record-breaking long-distance runner Agnes Tirop who was stabbed to death at her home.
An official identified the suspect as Emmanuel Rotich, who is detained in the coastal city of Mombasa and will face charges once investigations are completed.
Ms Tirop, 25, was found dead on Wednesday in the western town of Iten, a training centre for top athletes.
She had finished fourth in this year’s Tokyo Olympic 5,000m final.
In 2019, she won the 10,000m bronze at the 2019 World Athletics Championships.
Last month, she set a new world record of 30 minutes and one second, in Germany, for the 10km road race.
