  1. Tell me more about african [continental] culture and the expected "accorded respect" to men… and in this case, depending on his family's connections, the murderer may not receive just punishment…

  2. Ladies, be VERY CAREFUL when you're winning or when you have good news. Your ex-partner, current partner WILL try to sabotage you. Not all, but many will. This is when they'll come to "talk", when they'll get you pregnant to slow you down, when they will start a fight with you for no reason, when they'll cheat. Men sees their gf/wife/even ex as their competition and as win in your life even if they aren't in the same field as you will often get them very jealous and vindictive

  3. How horrible what happened to her. All her dreams and hard work taking away from someone that would rather see her dead than happy. Poor women what was done to her was pure evil she didn't deserve a death like that may she RIP.

  4. It takes evil of great magnitude to do this to another human being. Whether it was a jealous quarrel that spiraled out of control or years of abuse, I hope he never escapes the torment of her having 70% of her body scorched from this cruel murderous psychopathic act! R.I.P. Rebecca Cheptegei, that agony of which you endured is now no more. Anyone

  5. Violence against women in Kenya

  7. These men and their jealously. Jesus wow. if you don’t want to be with someone; leave them. It seems like these men were jealous of their women's success, but isn't her success your success? WOW, RIP to both women as a Kenyan this hurts my soul.
