It is now emerging that slain athlete, Agnes Tirop, had amassed an impressive collection of wealth from her racing career.
This was revealed by the late runner’s father, Vincent Tirop, while speaking to the media on Thursday, November, 18.
The wealth of the late athlete included over 40 rental houses in Kesses area of Uasin Gishu County and also a hardware store.
Mr. Tirop was able to start taking stalk of his late daughter’s properties after a directive by Justice Reuben Nyakundi of the Eldoret High Court.
The judge gave the father the right to collect, receive and do whatever is necessary for the
preservation of her property until a permanent representative is determined by the court.
“We received the court order on November 15 and we have come to check and collect her wealth.
We have discovered that she has houses in Kesses. We have so far found almost 40 houses,” the father stated.
The family also revealed that the late Agnes had a substantive sum of money she left in her bank accounts.
“She used to receive a certain amount of money and they used it to buy different items and properties,” he stated.
