Belgium to return tooth to family of slain Congolese icon
Read full article: Belgium to return tooth to family of slain Congolese iconThe family of Congolese independence icon Patrice Lumumba will soon receive the only known remains of the assassinated leader, a tooth removed after his death by a Belgium man whose family apparently held on to it for nearly 60 years, the federal prosecutor's office in Belgium announced on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020. (AP Photo, File)BRUSSELS The family of Congolese independence icon Patrice Lumumba will soon receive the only known remains of the assassinated leader, a tooth removed after his death by a Belgium man whose family apparently held on to it for nearly 60 years. If such a test had been done it would have destroyed the tooth itself, he said. A Belgian parliamentary probe later determined that the government was morally responsible for Lumumbas death. However, Belgian authorities say they only have recovered one tooth, which will soon be returned to his family.
