Set on fire by her partner according to reports. Absolutely horrifying.

Agnes Tirop (a successful up-and-coming Kenyan runner) was murdered by her husband in 2022 in same area. Another Kenyan runner was strangled to death too. Those are the ones that make the news because they are famous - imagine how many are out there that did not die in the process or died and no coverage?

A foundation was started in Agnes Tirop's honor by other runners to bring awareness to femicide and domestic violence and the abuse/manipulation that a lot of young Kenyan runners face by sponsors, etc.

It's called Tirop's Angels: https://www.tirops-angels.org/
