Agnes Tirop Murder: CCTV Footage Prove That She Was Brutally Murdered By Her Husband

Date:

CCTV footage has revealed that Agnes Tirop was murdered by her husband Ibrahim Rotich, the prime suspect in her murder case.

According to the Keiyo North sub county DCIO Andolo Munga, the footage also revealed that Tirop was murdered on October 12, 2021 in the afternoon.

“The CCTV footage is self-explanatory and positive after forensic analysis. It has all the evidence of the scene and the actual act. We believe we have an airtight case and we are good to go with the prosecution,” Munga said in an interview with Daily Nation.

“The CCTV footage has become very crucial in this matter and it has shown us exactly what happened and how it was conducted. The investigation is on reverse and forward aspects,” he added.

The detective said that a rungu and a knife believed to have been used in the athlete’s murder are still undergoing forensic analysis.

“The murder weapons are blood stained and they are being subjected to more analysis. We need a water tight case that is why nothing is being left to chance,” he said.

According to Munga, the confession note that  Rotich left behind before he was arrested in Mombasa is also being analyzed.

“The confession note is also being subjected to forensic analysis. The public will know in due course because all the evidence will be adduced in court,” he stated.

In the note, Rotich disclosed that his relationship with Tirop had problems and that is why he decided to end her life.

Munga further revealed that two other suspects in the murder case have been released and are now state witnesses.

“We have released the two other suspects whom we had arrested with Mr. Rotich and they are now state witnesses. They are valuable to in the case when they are witnesses unlike if they are charged,” the DCIO noted.

He said that investigations have proved that the suspect had intentions of killing Tirop and that the toxicological analysis might also give them a clue into the murder.

Tirop was found dead at her home in Iten on October 13, 2021. An autopsy report showed that she suffered concussion and cuts on her head and several stabs on her neck.
