“He is worse than a murderer, the things he has done behind my back yet he is my friend and fellow athlete has really gone beyond what an enemy would do,” he said.
Chepsiya is Kiprop’s training partner and pace maker. The two are said to have been very close and Asbel was Chepsiya’s best man when the couple wedded in 2012.
The video, which went viral shows the athlete in his vehicle kissing the woman in a denim unbuttoned blouse as they enjoy Kalenjin music blaring from the car loudspeakers.
The athlete recalls of a day Kiprop called him to have refreshments at a local joint near the Moi University School of Law Annex in Eldoret which turned out to be a move to divert him from knowing Kiprop’s intent.
“He asked me to join them for a few drinks. Little did I know that he was on a mission to know my location before he went to pick my wife for a prearranged love making session. They killed a woman as they were driving back from the airport,” he said.
The jilted husband also revealed that Kiprop called him between 7.30 and 8.00 pm on Sunday to confess that he has been in a relationship with his wife. The call triggered an altercation between the couple, culminating into a decision by the wife to walk out.
“She wanted to leave during the night but I told her to spend the night then leave in the morning. That is when she took the pesticide in an attempt to commit suicide,” Chepsiya said.
“I rushed her to hospital after my brother and I discovered that she was unconscious in bed after packing her clothes, we saw an opened packet of pesticide which we suspect she had swallowed,” he said.
“I paid Sh10,000 as a deposit for her to be taken into the facility after we drove her in from home,” Chespiya said. The pace maker explained that the lengthy call from Asbel opened a Pandora’s Box on the numerous affairs she had with other athletes and politicians.
“Nancy owned up to having been involved in numerous affairs and we agreed to amicably split as our marriage was broken irreparably,” he said.
Chepsiya revealed that he had gotten wind of the affair a while back but the revelation came as a shocker to him. He is angry at Kiprop for his betrayal.
Chepsiya explained that he and Kiprop were very close that he had lent the athlete Sh 500, 000 to settle the Kapseret accident matter with the family of the deceased woman.
