Another athlete left the athletic world. Damaris Muthee Mutua, a 28-year-old endurance athlete, was found killed at the Iten running center in Kenya. The representative of Bahrain was found in the house of her friend, who is currently being searched by the police.
Mutua’s friend was supposed to be the Ethiopian runner Koki Fai. According to the BBC, the police are now looking for him, but Fai seems to have fled the country. “The suspect called his friend, with whom he trained, and told him that he had killed his girlfriend and the body was in the house,“The police also revealed that Mutua’s body had already been found in a state of decay.
This is the second time a runner has been murdered in Iten in the last six months. Last October, two-time World Cup medalist Agnes Tirop was found dead in her home. Her husband, who is still in custody but continues to deny the murder, has been charged with murder.
