Dickson Ndiema is reported to have suffered 30% burns after setting fire to Ugandan marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei with petrol during an attack in Kenya.

Dickson Ndiema, the former partner of Rebecca Cheptegei, has died in hospital

A man accused of killing a Ugandan Olympian by setting her on fire has also died from injuries sustained in the attack.

Marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei, 33, died last Thursday after she was left severely injured following the attack in Kenya.

Dickson Ndiema, her alleged attacker and former partner, died on Monday night at the intensive care unit where he had been admitted after also sustaining injuries in the attack.

He was admitted to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in the Kenyan city of Eldoret, the same facility where Ms Cheptegei was treated.

A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed to the Associated Press on Tuesday that Ndiema had died.

How many of the men that were blaming her for not 'choosing better' even know her killer was an ex-boyfriend ? This man was married with his own children yet still had her on his mind.

He snuck into her house when she wasn't there and waited for her.

I'm very certain he wanted to rekindle their old relationship because he saw she became successful. She turned him down and that's why he killed her.

Let nobody make you feel elitist for wanting to associate with people on your wavelength.
