There does not seem to be much dispute about who killed the world record holder.
Yes, it was her husband but why?
In a very homophobic country, the record holder only get married as a shield.
The very recent day of her murder, her husband walked in on her and her girlfriend in bed.
The girlfriend escaped, the record holder did not.

After the call, the 25-year-old’s family, friends and neighbours rushed to her house and after breaking in, found her body lying in bed in a pool of blood. Tirop’s lifeless body was discovered with stab wounds in the abdomen. Marital issues A source disclosed to TUKO.co.ke that Tirop had marital issues with her husband and frequently fought.
