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…
Horrible and heartbreaking!
OMG 😮R.I.P
Which trip is cheptegei?
her children😢 kenya has had running champions my my whole life. I am 66 soon. I just cant believe the murders happening around the world
The tribulation is definitely upon us. May GOD have mercy. AMEN
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
This is devastating. 😢
Diabolical
Horrible. Bless her soul.
African man be beating on woman a lot
1 woman killed every 3 days due to domestic abuse

***UPDATE: He also passed away days later from the 30% burns sustained during the attack.
P.s. – RIP dear Rebecca.
And rot in hell, evil soul who took her life.
Thats a doggone shame what he done to her. He is going to reap the whirlwind for what he done! So he set himself on fire as well?
God that’s awful!
Prayers sent😞
She probably had it coming
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
I hope his punishment is the same. RIP 🙏🏾

Fighting over land his ex girlfriend purchase. Someone in his family or true friend should have gotten that man some help before he committed such an act.
Narcissistic are murders
I've always thought Kenyans to be so polite and spiritual but lately I'm hearing more and more cases involving Kenyan men hurting women. Scary
Men just hate our beautiful women for no reason…like what if it was vice versa ya would be pissed
Violence against women and children need to be stop.
I just can imagine the pains Rebecca suffered before giving up her ghost. My condolence to her family.

40.7% of ever-partnered women have experienced physical &/or sexual intimate partner violence, with 25.5% of those women having experienced this violence in the last 12 months.

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.
R.I.P & LONG LIVE REBECCA CHEPTEGEI 🏃🏾♀️➡️🙏🏾🕊🕯💔❤️🩹💐🥀🪦😔
They were old flames.
Sies man. Sorry to her family
This is evil. Unforgivable. I'm so sorry that must have been so painful. Rest in peace dear.
What an animal!
This is horrible. She needs justice.
How evil do you have to be to do this to someone? Does this country take this serious enough to make him face the consequences of what he has done?
Biden will probably fly his ass up here and give him a house
The Kenyan govt couldn't serve & protect their citizens against violence & crimes.
WTF is wrong with people! May she RIP

And this is why the 3rd world should be banned from the Olympics.
