[Sugar Cookie]

Rebecca Cheptegei, a Ugandan marathon runner who competed in the Paris Olympics last month, has died days after she was burned by her boyfriend, the country’s athletics federation confirmed on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete, Rebecca Cheptegei early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence,” the Uganda Athletics Federation posted. “As a federation, we condemn such acts and call for justice. May her soul rest In Peace.”

Cheptegei, 33, who lived in Kenya, had been in a critical condition after suffering burns on 75% of her body following Sunday’s attack at her house in the western Trans Nzoia County. Her death was also confirmed on X by the Kenyan Olympic Team.

Trans Nzoia County police commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom said earlier this week that the athlete had been doused in petrol by her boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema, who stormed her house with a jerry can of gasoline and set fire to her after a disagreement over land. Ndiema, who was also burned, is being treated at a hospital in the city of Eldoret.

The man accused of killing Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei by dousing her in petrol and setting her alight has also died, according to the hospital where they were both treated.

Cheptegei’s former boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema, died at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret on Monday night after being admitted to intensive care following the attack on Cheptegei.

The death was initially reported by both The Times and The Starin Kenya, before a spokesperson for the hospital confirmed the news.

Ndiema died at 7.50pm (4.50pm BST) on Monday, said Daniel Lang’at, a spokesperson for Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.

“He died from his injuries, the burns he sustained,” Lang’at told Reuters. Local media reported that he had suffered 30 per cent burns when he assaulted Cheptegei as she was returning home from church with her children.
