Olympic runner Rebecca Cheptegei’s ex-boyfriend dies after he ‘set her on fire’

The man accused of setting fire to Ugandan Olympic runner Rebecca Cheptegei has died of his injuries less than a week after the attack.

Reports shocked the world last week when word of the horrifying incident spread. Cheptegei competed at the Paris Olympics, finishing 44th in the marathon event, but was allegedly attacked by ex-boyfriend Dickson Ndiema Marangach after returning home from church with her two daughters on September 5.

Harrowing reports claim that Marangach poured petrol on Cheptegei before setting her alight. Cheptegei succumbed to her injuries, having suffered burns to 80 percent of her body.
