NAIROBI, Kenya — Police say two men have been arrested in connection with the killing of Ugandan Oympic runner Benjamin Kiplagat, who was found fatally stabbed in a car in Kenya on New Year's Eve. A police official says a knife suspected to have been used in the killing of the 34-year-old Kiplagat was found on one of the suspects. The official says the motive for the killing appears to have been robbery because money and a cell phone had been taken from Kiplagat. Kiplagat was found dead in his brother's car on Sunday on the outskirts of Eldoret, a high-altitude town in western Kenya renowned as a training base for elite athletes.
