Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Post-mortem results for slain athlete Agnes Tirop were conducted at the Iten County Referral Hospital (ICRH) mortuary on Tuesday, October 19, revealing more details surrounding her death.<\/p>\n

The autopsy showed that Tirop died as a result of injuries caused by stab wounds on the neck. In addition, she was hit on the head with a blunt object.<\/p>\n

The three-hour-long post-mortem was carried out by two pathologists and a forensic physician at the ICRH in the presence of a family pathologist.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists, pathologist Dr Dorothy Njeru stated they had prepared a report and handed it over to homicide detectives at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).<\/p>\n

However, Njeru did not disclose the number of stab wounds that Tirop persevered before her death, noting that the DCI officers would issue more details.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally, the examination has shown injuries due to blunt post-trauma,” Njeru stated.<\/p>\n

Following the autopsy, the body was moved to Eldoret Hospital mortuary ahead of burial in Kapnyamisa village, Nandi County.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister’s burial will be on Saturday. We are moving the body to Eldoret to ease our preparations for burial,\u201d Limo, the late athlete\u2019s elder brother stated.<\/p>\n

The main suspect in the murder, Emmanuel Ibrahim Rotich, was on Monday, October 18, arraigned at the Iten Law Courts.<\/p>\n

Senior Principal Magistrate, Charles Kutwa, directed Rotich to be detained at the Eldoret Police Station for 20 days pending investigations.<\/p>\n

The star athlete, had just become the world record holder last month after winning the 10km road race. She clocked 30:01 during the Adizero Road to Records event in Herzogenaurach, Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
