Kiptum’s Secret Lover Breaks Silence
Kiptum’s Secret lover has finally spoken moments after the court declined to stop Kiptum’s burial after she had filed a case in an Eldoret court.
The 22 year old Edna Owuor who is said to have been Kiptum’s Secret lover was speaking to the media today when she disclosed the last message she received from kiptum before the ill fated accident.
According to Edna Owuor, the marathoner had promised to send her money to support her financial situation before he was involved in a road accident together with his coach.

“The last time I spoke with him was that Sunday when he informed me that he was coming to Eldoret and he would provide me with the cash I needed to cater to the baby’s needs.”
Awuor explained that she shared an intimate relationship with Kiptum as they lived together as a family.
“We have been living together. The only time we didn’t is when I gave birth and had to go back to my parents’ home.”
The 22-year-old claimed that Kiptum’s relatives failed to recognise her and the baby and also locked her out of the burial process. She also alleged that the family chose not to include the minor in the eulogy
This forced her to file a petition in court seeking to halt Kiptum’s burial process slated for Friday, February 23, pending the hearing of the case. She also sought an order for the athlete’s DNA sample to be taken to prove the baby’s paternity.

“I filed the petition because we sired a baby with the late Kiptum and sought legal grounds to ensure the baby’s taken care of. Now that he’s gone, I don’t know who will be assisting me to take care of the baby. She is one year and seven months.”
Justice Robert Wananda of the High Court, however, declined to grant the orders, confirming that the athlete’s burial was a matter of public interest
