Police examine the car which Pio Gama Pinto was driving when he was murdered in 1965. There are a set of bizarre coincidences pointing to a possibility of a link to the twin killing of one of America’s fiercest civil rights activists Malcolm X and one of Kenya’s polished politicians, Pio Gama Pinto. Three days later some aspects of this assassination were replayed in Nairobi when an assassin took out 38-year-old Pio Gama Pinto, as his two-year-old daughter watched. After his seven weeks tour, Malcom fell so in love with Kenya’s liberation struggle and the Mau Mau that he advocated for the establishment of a similar guerrilla outfit in several states in America. Pinto too was a darling among Mau Mau and donated half his pay to feed peasants.
