Total senseless killing. Such young girl cannot even be accused of sleeping around. Could be money related?

Its very sad to see a woman of such caliber killed like she is a nobody. What about regular women in the community who have little say. She was a daughter, sister, aunt etc but to this hooligan she was a nobody. Am sure it was about money.

Abusers don't look at things the way a normal person does.
Selfishness comes first.
Does Kenya have lifetime jail?

This is very rare among most kenyan women, who believe that a man's salary belong to family, while empowered woman salary belong to woman alone.

Many situation like this could result after a man invests in a woman hoping he's investing in future family. Things turn south when woman start making money and tells man she can do whatever she wants because she's independent.

I think we are at cultural crossroads breakpoint with mixing incompatible western and traditional African culture. Something gives in soon..

Kenya: Senators Pay Glowing Tribute to Fallen Athletics Heroine Tirop

This is an interesting but sad article. So Kenyan female athletes have been suffering in silence all this time? Really sad.

The death of Kenyan running star Agnes Tirop has thrown a spotlight on the pressures faced by the country's female athletes who pay a huge -- and often tragic -- price for their spectacular success in a male-dominated society.

Devoted to sports from an early age, many lack the necessary education to manage their finances, the four-time New York marathon champion said, putting them at risk of being used as "cash cows" by greedy spouses.

"There are so many wolves out there waiting to prey on these girls," Tegla Loroupe, a former world marathon record holder, told AFP.

Agents pay off families to convince them to "force the girls to drop out of school prematurely and compete in overseas races", the 48-year-old said.

"The young girls need to be given space to grow," said the retired runner, who now counsels troubled athletes after a bruising battle with alcoholism.

In the past Athletics Kenya has sought to protect female athletes by closing two training camps in the Rift Valley for allegedly exploiting young women.

But "Tirop's death has been a wake-up call", Athletics Kenya spokesman Dominic Ondieki told AFP, adding that the country's sporting community needed to address the elephant in the room.

"Athletes are now opening up to reveal the challenges they are facing in their marriages... It seems most of these athletes have been suffering in silence," he said.

With a glittering career, a family and business investments to cushion her retirement, Keitany is a rare success story on the personal and professional front.

But the 39-year-old, who only took up distance running after the birth of her first child, says the pressure for female athletes to be superwomen must stop.

"A woman athlete is expected to bear children, fight to quickly shed the weight and get back into shape and return to competition in order to bring food on the table for the whole family.

"Yet the men just wait and enjoy the fruits of her sweat. This should be rebuked."
