Police search for olympic champion Conseslus Kipruto for allegedly eloping with a form two girl.

The teenager had been reported missing but she was found a few days later with her parents claiming that Kipruto was staying with their daughter at his home in Chesumei.

The girl declined to disclose where she had been but after going through her phone, her parents learned she was in communication with Kipruto, 25.

“Upon arresting the suspect, we shall record his statement and thereafter conclude investigations into the defilement allegations,” he added.
