Two men, Peter Ushuru Khalumi and David Ekai Lokere, have been sentenced to 35 years each for the murder of Ugandan Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat. The incident occurred in Eldoret, a town known for its elite athlete training centers.
Kiplagat's murder sparked shock in Kenya, where several high-profile athletes had previously been killed. A court found that Khalumi and Lokere intentionally followed and stabbed Kiplagat to death on New Year's Eve last year.
