Dickson Ndiema, the man accused of fatally burning Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei, has died from burns he sustained during the attack. Ndiema allegedly set Cheptegei on fire following a dispute over a parcel of land she had purchased in Kenya. Cheptegei, who had recently competed in the women's marathon at the Paris Olympics, succumbed to her injuries just days before Ndiema's death, with 80% of her body burned. Her family had reported that Ndiema had been stalking and threatening her prior to the incident. The tragic events have prompted calls for justice, as Cheptegei's family expressed concerns over police inaction despite their warnings. The deaths of both individuals have sent shockwaves through the athletic community and raised awareness about domestic violence issues.
