The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has dispatched a high-level forensics investigation team to conduct a thorough probe into the death of World Marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum and his Rwandan coach Gervais Hakizamana ahead of their burials this week. The forensics experts team commenced investigations on Monday, visiting the scene of the accident that killed the duo near Flax centre in the Kaptagat area on February 11. Elgeyo Marakwet County Criminal Investigations Officer Joshua Chelal and Police Commander Peter Mulinge confirmed the arrival of the team from the DCI headquarters. “The team wants to clear every single doubt to the satisfaction of the families and members of the public,” he said. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the Head of State will pay a visit to the athlete’s Chepsaimo home on Friday, before the burial in Naiberi, where the athlete was planning to settle his family.
