Daughter's name is Vienna
Vienna Marathon winner killed in robbery
Former Vienna Marathon winner Samson Kandie (53) has died in his Kenyan homeland from injuries sustained in a brutal robbery. This was announced by the Vienna City Marathon on Sunday.
The 53-year-old was found seriously injured by his wife and daughter near his home on Friday and was immediately taken to hospital. He succumbed to his injuries at the Real Hospital in Eldoret, according to the Vienna Marathon website.
He was on his way home
The exact course of events and those responsible have not yet been clarified. However, the police are assuming murder. Vienna Kandie, the daughter of the deceased, said on television that her mother had phoned Samson Kandie at 7.30 p.m. to check on him because she had been expecting him at home. "He said he was on his way home. We started to wonder because Dad was never late home," Vienna Kandie said.
During another call at 9 p.m., a strange voice answered Samson Kandie's phone. "A man told us to go behind our house where we would find him." Kandie was lying on the ground with his arms and legs bound and severely injured - and later succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
Kandie had won the VCM 2004 in the then course record time of 2:08:35 hours. He named his daughter, who was born shortly afterwards, "Vienna".
