What you need to know:

  • Ms Tirop also won the World Cross Country title in 2015, during which she made history as the second youngest medallist at that level.
  • She also won the Africa Cross Country Championship in 2014 in Kampala, Uganda as well as the World Junior Cross Country Championship in 2013 in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Mr Ibrahim Rotich, the estranged husband athlete Agnes Tirop who has been accused of murdering her, was dealt a major blow on Friday after the hearing of his bail application was postponed for the second time in a row.

This means that the suspect will continue to be held at the Eldoret GK Remand Prison pending his bail application hearing.
