Ibrahim Rotich, the key suspect in the murder of athlete Agnes Tirop, has denied the charges before the High Court in Eldoret.

Appearing before Justice Reuben Nyakundi, Rotich, 41, pleaded not guilty after the mental assessment report from the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital showed he was fit to stand trial. According to the particulars of the charge, Rotich is said to have killed Tirop on October 12 at Rural estate in Iten Township, Elgeyo Marakwet County.
