| The world's youngest Olympic Marathon winner Samuel Wanjiru |
The death of renowned marathon athlete Samuel Wanjiru, has taken a new twist after his mother Ann Wanjiru claimed he was murdered.
Mother to the Kenyan hero Ann Wanjiru has rubbished reports that her son committed suicide claiming he was murdered by people who wants to inherit his wealth.
She says her son did not jump from the balcony as alleged but was killed in the bedroom and his body planted outside.
She claims there was blood in the bedroom and that Wanjiru was alone in the house at the time of the incident.
She has also disowned Wanjiru's wife Triza Njeri, saying Mary Wacera a fellow international athlete who has a nine-month-old child is her son's legal wife.
Njeri has however termed the remarks as malicious and unfortunate.
The late Wanjiru captured the world's attention through his unassailable performances in athletics but charges of infidelity and his love for alcohol have now threatened to overshadow his illustrious career.
His controversial marital life has now subjected fellow young athletes to scrutiny as Psychologists argue that wealth and fame at such an early age can be self-destructive.
Debate on domestic violence
And the death of the renowned marathoner Wanjiru as well as many other deaths associated with domestic violence is now generating interest in Parliament.
Nominated MP Millie Odhiambo wants Kenyans let in on the truth about what transpired on the fateful night and the likely cause of Wanjiru's death.
She further requested for the release of the number of domestic violence cases documented in the country since January 2010.
Millie is also seeking to know what program has been put in places to assist those languishing in domestic violence and the victims left after deaths of their spouses and the status of the marriage bill.
