Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei's Family Demands Justice After Death | Firstpost Africa
Outrage is growing in Uganda over the horrific death of Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei. Cheptegei succumbed to injuries on Thursday after being set on fire by her boyfriend at her home in Kenya. As per reports, the two were at odds over a piece of land that Cheptegei had bought and built a house on near Kenya's elite athletics training centres. She suffered almost 80% burns and died due to multiple organ failure. Grieving parents are now demanding justice for their daughter, who just weeks ago represented Uganda in the Paris Olympics. The incident has highlighted the high rate of violence against women in Kenya, with many demanding action against the femicide epidemic. Watch for more details.
