A pair of men were arrested in connection to the alleged murder of Benjamin Kiplagat, according to the Associated Press.
The Ugandan Olympic runner was found with a knife wound in his neck in his brother’s car on New Year’s Eve in Eldoret, Kenya. The knife suspected to be the murder weapon was found on one of the suspects arrested by police.
Moiben sub county police commander Stephen Okal said the motive for the killing appears to have been a robbery, as Kiplagat’s cell phone and money were taken from him.
“An investigation has been launched and officers are on the ground pursuing leads,” Okal told reporters Sunday.
