Oh Touching! Dedan Kimathi Widow At A Ceremony To Receive Part Of Her Husband’s Past (Photos)

The family of Dedan Kimathi will never get the closure of at least burying his remains at home.

Despite sustained efforts to get the remains from Kamiti they have not borne fruit. However, it appears that they may just get a part of that unfortunate part of history that saw them and Kenya lose a beloved man and hero.

The widow of Dedan Kimathi has been handed a file of the trial records that saw her husband hanged. The file was a copy of the only original trial and appellate records. It’s was handed by the University of London to the CJ Willy Mutunga. The CJ then had audience with Kimathi’s widow and handed her the file in quite a ceremony.

The UK government has refused to reveal the location of the tomb for the MAU MAU hero. Here are photos of the ceremony
