An Eldoret court has heard disturbing claims involving former marathon runner Samson Kandie and his wife, Rose Chepkemboi Rotich. According to the case, Rotich is accused of hiring individuals to confront Kandie over alleged marital issues.
The incident, which took place in Eldoret, has drawn public attention due to Kandie’s status as a respected former athlete. During the court session, it was alleged that Rotich took the drastic step after suspecting Kandie of being unfaithful.
The men she reportedly hired are said to have assaulted Kandie at his home, causing injuries. The case is being handled by the Eldoret Law Courts, where both sides are expected to present their accounts of what transpired.
Rotich has denied the allegations and is out on bail as the court continues with the hearing. The case highlights growing concerns over how personal conflicts sometimes escalate into violence.
Kandie, who represented Kenya in international competitions, is said to be recovering. The court is expected to deliver its ruling after hearing all testimonies and reviewing the evidence.
