It’s barely three months since former 400m hurdles champion Nicholas Bett went to be with the Lord.
The sprinter was involved in a grisly road accident early August while driving to upcountry, where he had an appointment with his doctor. He perished barely 24 hours after representing the country at a competition in Asaba, Nigeria
Bett had two wives though the second wife was not welcomed to his funeral by his family. The champion and his first wife Gladys were blessed with three kids while he had one daughter named Kylie with his second wife Brenda.
The champion was later laid to rest and his second wife, who he lived with in Nairobi’s Lang’ata estate was barred from stepping anywhere near his family’s home.
The mother of one is yet to come to terms with the death of her lover and she shared a tearjerking message which read;
