KAMPALA迪士尼时时彩彩乐园, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- The body of Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei who died after allegedly being set on fire by her ex-partner in neighbouring Kenya arrived in her rural hometown in eastern Uganda on Friday afternoon, a district official said.
The casket containing the remains of Cheptegei wrapped in Ugandan flag colors of black, yellow and red was received by family members, Uganda athletics federation and government officials at the Kenya - Uganda border town of Suam in a sombre mood, Gertrude Chemitai, Bukwo district information officer, told Xinhua by telephone.
