The wheels of justice are slow but they do grind.
Two individuals have been arrested after a Rwandan marathoner was found dead at a renowned training center in Kenya following an alleged ‘love triangle’ involvement that culminated in his death
Siragi Rubayita, 34, was training in the town of Iten before a competition in Italy when he was killed in a manner his family have described as "a senseless act of violence when a fellow athlete and his girlfriend invited him to their home the night before his departure".
The family are calling for "truth and justice" for their son who was "pursuing his passion for running and sports excellence".
Police investigating the incident that led to Mr Rubayita's death say two individuals arrested, a male and a female, are the main suspects. They are also fellow athletes.
Nasra Bishumba, Mr Rubayita's sister, told the BBC that her brother was expected back home in Kigali on Friday before his scheduled trip to Italy.
