As reported by BBC News, Cheptegei was allegedly doused with petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend, leaving her with severe burns covering more than 75% of her body.
The alleged attack took place at Cheptegei’s home in the small town of Endebess, where she had been training. She was reportedly rescued by neighbors following the incident on Sunday.
Both Cheptegei and the alleged attacker, who also sustained serious burns, are currently receiving treatment at Moi Referral Hospital in Eldoret, the main town in the region.
“The couple were heard quarrelling outside their house. During the altercation, the boyfriend was seen pouring a liquid on the woman before burning her,” said local police chief Jeremiah ole Kosiom, describing the harrowing scene.
