Ex-boyfriend accused of killing Ugandan athlete Rebecca Cheptegei dies of burns

Less than a week after Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei succumbed to her injuries after a fatal attack, her Kenyan ex-boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema Marangach, who was accused of dousing her in petrol and setting her alight, died on Tuesday from burns sustained during the attack. The femicide put the spotlight on the high rates of domestic violence in the East African country, particularly within its running community.
