Kisilu Mutua dies at 80
He is alleged to have killed
politician Pio Gama Pinto
By Kivutha Kibwana
Kisilu Mutua, who was jailed in 1965 for allegedly assassinating Pio Gama Pinto, died last Sunday evening at the age of 80.
 |
He hails from Masii in Machakos County, and also lived in Eastleigh, Kyambiu.
Kisilu leaves behind a widow, Ruth Minoo, and three children -Stephen Mutuku, Lazarus Munyao and Mariam Ngami.
In 2017, the High Court of Kenya found that he had been tortured by the police in 1965 so as to force him to sign a document which was used as evidence to incriminate him in his murder trial.
Kisilu who was 22 years at the time of his arrest spent 36 years in prison before a belated presidential pardon in 2001.
May his soul rest in peace.
May the Kenya government begin an investigation into who assassinated the revolutionary Pinto and the others who faced similar fate in independent Kenya.
