Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died days after being doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend.
The 33-year-old Ugandan marathon runner, who competed in the recent Paris Olympics, suffered extensive burns after Sunday’s attack.
Authorities said she was targeted after returning home from church with her two daughters. Police said an investigation is under way.
There are concerns about the increasing cases of violence against female athletes in Kenya. Cheptegei is the third to have been killed since October 2021.
