Olympic Runner Rebecca Cheptegei Set On Fire By Her Boyfriend After Competing In Paris

Buy Me A Coffee

Oh boy, talk about a fiery relationship—literally!

Rebecca Cheptegei, a 33-year-old Ugandan Olympic marathon runner, found herself in the worst possible version of “things heating up” when her boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema, decided to channel his inner pyromaniac during a disagreement. According to news reports, Dickson’s grand romantic gesture involved gasoline and flames, making this less of a rom-com and more of a horror flick.

Reports say Rebecca ended up with burns covering a staggering 75% of her body after her boyfriend decided to take things way too far. It all went down in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya, where love apparently smells like gasoline and burns like… well, a whole lot of fire.

The police, led by the very official-sounding Trans Nzoia County Police Commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom, reported that neighbors overheard the couple having a minor disagreement that, you know, only escalated into a full-on bonfire. “During the altercation, the boyfriend was seen pouring a liquid on the woman before burning her,” Kosiom shared. You don’t need Sherlock Holmes to figure out that ‘liquid’ wasn’t Evian.

Now, you’d think after lighting someone on fire, Dickson would run, right? Nope! He stuck around long enough to roast himself too. Both Rebecca and Dickson ended up in the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, because, turns out, fire has this crazy habit of spreading.

Doctors are keeping things hush-hush, only revealing that the patient is fully sedated because, well, the last thing you want after being BBQ-ed is to be awake and aware of it.

Apparently, this fiery drama kicked off when Dickson “sneaked” onto the property while Rebecca and the kids were at church. Maybe he thought a post-sermon inferno was the best way to say “welcome back!”?

Thank goodness for the quick-thinking neighbors who put out the fire before this relationship got even more out of hand.
