    Rebecca Cheptegei, who competed in the Paris Olympics, has died after being doused with gasoline and severely burned by her ex-boyfriend on Sunday, on her way home from church with her daughters.

    What is going on here?

    “Her death comes after the killings of fellow East African athletes Agnes Tirop in 2021 and Damaris Mutua the following year, with their partners identified as the main suspects in both cases by the authorities.“

    They were having issues over a piece of land, apparently. I don't know the full details, horrific though it is
