"Justice really would have been for him to sit in jail and think about what he had done. This is not positive news whatsoever," said Viola Cheptoo, co-founder of Tirop's Angels, emphasizing the ongoing issue of domestic violence in Kenya.
"The shock of Rebecca's death is still fresh," Cheptoo told Reuters, highlighting the emotional impact of Cheptegei's tragic story on the running community.
Rights groups say female athletes in Kenya are at a high risk of exploitation and violence at the hands of men drawn to their prize money, impacting their safety.
Cheptegei's death represents a broader trend of violence against elite women athletes in Kenya, raising serious concerns about their safety and the societal factors contributing to such tragedies.
