Rebecca Cheptegei Funeral LIVE: Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei Laid To Rest With Military Honors | N18G

Funeral events began in Uganda on Saturday for Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei, who was brutally attacked and set on fire by her former boyfriend in Kenya two weeks ago. Cheptegei, 33, died in the hospital four days after suffering burns to over 80% of her body.

The attack occurred outside her home in north-western Kenya, near her training grounds, shocking her family and the world. Cheptegei’s killing has drawn attention to the high levels of violence against women in Kenya, with several female athletes falling victim in recent years.

This is a very dark day for both countries and I am saying without any apology that Amnesty International over the years have dragged this crime menace to where it is presently because they seem to favor the criminals at any cost making the victims and their families look as the offenders and cause of the criminal act committed. That little boy is brilliant and intelligent I watched the funeral over and over again but was disappointed by the sudden cut off from the preacher to the laying of the casket to its final place. Rest in peace Rebecca Cheptegei! I'm watching from Grenada in the West Indies.
