Olympic Athlete Murdered By Disturbed Ex Boyfriend | Rebecca Cheptegei Set on Fire By Dickson Ndiema

'Rebecca Cheptegei, a Ugandan marathon runner who competed in the Paris Olympics last month, has died days after she was burned by her boyfriend, the country’s athletics federation confirmed on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday. “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete, Rebecca early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence,” the Uganda Athletics Federation posted. “As a federation, we condemn such acts and call for justice. May her soul rest In Peace.” Rebecca, 33, who lived in Kenya, had been in a critical condition after suffering burns on 75% of her body following Sunday’s attack at her house in the western Trans Nzoia County. Her death was also confirmed on X by the Kenyan Olympic Team." Sources: BBC News, The New York Times, Oylmpics News, Wolf Politics Review

Omg I'm Ugandan, Christina I can't believe you're covering this you for sharing this on your platform.

[janicea]

When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.

[dalubuhlengwenya]

As a South African girl hearing you in the last 3 mins brought me to tears. Fighting to end DV is more than needed. Thank you for bringing awareness to Femicide in Africa

[Felbicky]

So many are still so proud of Rebecca’s achievements … his murderous greed and selfishness can’t take that away from her.
Rip Rebecca 💔

[reneegb]

Setting her on fire alive is a certain kind of evil. The immense suffering and pain this kind gentle soul had to bear is unimaginable and in front of her children is just horrific.

[fifipinky]

A Kenyan 🇰🇪 in USA... Thanks for covering this.

[qgquggs]

I read this story in the news. It's so incredibly sad. She worked so hard to achieve her goals and raise children, only to see this happen.

[MundiAnima]

Femicide is rampant in Africa, it's disturbing.

[FlorahAyuma]

[ellaw]

She was so talented. This is so horrible. Rest in peace Rebecca. You deserved better. ✝️🩷

[Katinahat]

I’ve been waiting for some real coverage on this. Glad you’re talking about this horrific case.

[cathymartin_IHAVEQUESTIONS]

Thank you so very much for covering this, and with so much respect and empathy. Much respect for you. Too many times Africa gets overlooked.

[mercymoiben]

Thank you for covering this story, I’m from Kenya and been following you for 2 years now. Kindly cover more stories from Africa and Kenya as well.

[ionmar]

How heartbreaking especially for her two children. 😢

[maryannrusso]

They need to change their laws. That’s crazy raising money to get out of jail after murdering someone. That’s sick.

[nikicrowe]

To start her life and such a small little village on the other side of the world from us, to make it all the way to the Olympics, then to see her life cut short by domestic violence, and now having a sports Arena named after her in Paris. Such a sweet tribute. I’m sure her family would rather have her here with them, then to have something named after due to such a senseless tragedy.
This shows it is not just an American problem. Femicide is a horrible epidemic, all over the globe.. It’s not spoken about enough. It has to be talked about. Thank you for helping to continue the conversation. I feel so sad for her family and her children; and the loss of the rest of her life that she was meant to live.

I'm half Ugandan - such a sad story. Thanks for talking about this.
