A Ugandan runner based in Kenya, Rebecca Cheptegei, is recovering from severe burns after a horrific attack by her boyfriend, according to police reports.
Cheptegei, who was at the 2024 Paris Olympics, was set on fire during a dispute at her home in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya.
The Trans Nzoia County Police Commander, Jeremiah ole Kosiom, revealed that the boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema, purchased petrol, doused her with it, and ignited the flames on Sunday.
Ndiema also suffered burns, and both are currently receiving specialized care at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret.
Cheptegei’s parents mentioned that she had recently bought land in Trans Nzoia to be close to several athletic training centers in the area. A local report suggests that the argument that led to the attack was related to this property.
