Rebecca Cheptegei: Olympic athlete dies days after being set alight by ex-boyfriend | BBC

End femicide!

That's awful

"The authorities in north-west Kenya, where Cheptegei lived and trained, said she was targeted after returning home from church with her two daughters."

it then has something about land and quarelling but its hard to get what happened.

"A report filed by a local administrator alleged the athlete and her ex-partner had been wrangling over a piece of land. Police say an investigation is under way. Cheptegei, from a region just across the border in Uganda, is said to have bought a plot in Trans Nzoia county and built a house to be near Kenya's elite athletics training centres."

it talks of her generosity and position as a bread winner. I wonder if he wanted her to buy it at some inflated price or some crap. I guess ultimately it does not matter what the stupidity was but for some reason im always trying to figure out the thinking from the nutter in the story. Luckily it does not mention injuries to the daughter although apparently he got himself somewhat but not enough to die.

WTF is wrong with people.

Just terrible.

If there were some kind of global women's vigilante network to handle these things, I would definitely not snitch.

Wow. I hate humans: we were a mistake

RIP. This is just such a sad story. I hoped things went better. I hoped she would recover. I guess the guy mentioning the 75% burn was not survivable was right this time.

Okay JFC who sets someone on fire over a land dispute!? I mean I'd be all for lighting, say, Kim Jong Un on fire, but that guy's a mad murdering sociopath. I dunno what penalties there are for egregiously horrible murder, but that guy deserves it.

Are there special punishments or charges for deluxe murder? Like murder with extra suffering? IDK humanity is pretty fucked up.

😫

Seems like a Vat of acid would be justified there

Oh no. This beautiful light extinguished from our eyes

Women would be so much better off with out us.

North west, bordering uganda. hmmm. i wonder if there is an islamic component to this? Or maybe a brain development problem. that region has a big problem with helminth infestation. A lot of poor rural kids have the worms and so, the immune system is inflamed and brain fails to develop. typical characteristic is inability to negotiate simple problems and turn on the other person in violent rage. its well documented. i have seen videos from rural west kenya of low iq parents beating their low iq children.
