A Kenya court released a warrant of arrest against Ibrahim rich, wife and prime suspect of Kenyan athlete murder Agnes Jebet Tirop, That was surprised by the country and the world of athletes in October 2021, after the defendant did not go to the last two case views.
“We informed us that the prime suspect in marathon murder can be found anywhere Agnes Tirop. We have requested that its cash bail of 400,000 chelines (about 2,800 euros) confiscate the state to prevent the bail regime, “said prosecutor Leonard Okaka before the Superior Court of Eldoret (west of Kenya), according to local media.
By the end of last February, the court had to postpone another hearing of the case due to lack of rich, with whom his lawyer, Mbugua Ninging, and his family could not find them.
Then, Nhpeo announced that the defendant not only responded to his calls, but not his usual residence.
“Honor, I ask you to give you another chance to see if you will appear in front of the court the next look, but in case it does not appear, then a warrant must be released against him,” the defending lawyer asked.
Thus, Judge Robert Wananda not only released the warrant on Tuesday, but also called the head of the Eldoret police station to explain to the court if Rich was presenting himself there on Monday, as the court ordered him to give his independence on bail in November 2023, after remaining in charge for two years.
Rich declared himself innocent in November 2021 after being formally accused of Kenyan Justice of Homicide for killing Tirop, a 10 -kilometer worldwide plusmarchist on a route and specialist at 5,000 meters.
The accused denied his work despite the fact that Kenyan police reported on October 21 of that year that Rich had left a letter of confession at the house shared by the couple in the town of Ineen, where there were many regional train athletes.
On the other hand, Tirop’s younger sister, Everlyne Jepngetich, also said that in the last months the athlete had been victims several times in mistreating her husband, who had taken her “to look for shelter in the field of training.”
On October 13, 2021, Kenyan authorities found the lifeless body of the Hirop, 25 years old, stabbed inside their home.
Police arrested his wife the next day “while trying to flee to a nearby county to prevent justice,” said the Kenyan Criminal Investigation Board (DCI).
Tirop founded September 12 the same year in Herzogenaurach (Germany), with 30:01 Chrono, a new world record of 10 kilometers on route.
The athlete also won two copper medals at 10,000 meters of the 2017 and 2019 Athletics World Cups and announced the winner of the Women’s Cross of Italica in 2018.
Tirop killing has put focus on many cases of sexist violence documented against athletes in Kenya, a fact that was also shown in brutal killing for their partners at Kenyan Damaris Mutua, in 2022, and the Ugandasa Rebecca Chepegei, in 2024, both in West Kenyan.
