Mayor Anne Hidaldo announced on Friday that the city of Paris would honour the memory of murdered Ugandan Olympic runner Rebecca Cheptegei, 33, by naming a sports venue after her. Cheptegei, who finished 44th in the women's marathon during the Paris Olympics in August, succumbed to severe burns on Thursday after being doused in petrol and set on fire by her boyfriend at her home in Kenya.
