In death, Samuel Wanjiru became one the most talked about elements in social media, hours after killing himself in his home in Nyahururu, central Kenya.
Police say the Olympic marathon champion killed himself by jumping off his home balcony in the dead of the night early today. He jumped from his first floor balcony to the ground. Yes first floor!
The story is this: Wanjiru, 24, came home last evening with a female companion. Hours later, the athlete's wife, Triza Njeri, then came home, unexpectedly, to find Wanjiru in bed with another woman. She then locked the couple in the bedroom and went outside. From this point, Wanjiru then leapt from the balcony to his death.

So then Njeri, and the woman Wanjiru was with, supposedly a bar maid, are being held by police.
