Morbid details have now emerged on how the athlete met his death.

Moiben Sub-county Police Commander Stephen Okal has unravelled the mystery by providing details obtained from scrutiny of  CCTV footage.

The police commander further notified the public that upon scrutiny of the CCTV footage, another deep cut was spotted on the neck of Benjamin Kiplagat, thus narrowing his cause of death to a potential stab by the perpetrators of his heinous murder.

The police also said that Kiplagat’s vehicle hit the motorcycle the perpetrators used to block his vehicle before committing the murder.

Mr. Okal, who was speaking in the morning before the two suspects were apprehended lauded the police for mounting an extensive manhunt for the murderers.

The results paid off and two suspects are already in police custody in relation to the murder.
