Mrs Pauline Lumumba, wife of Congo’s first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba who was brutally tortured and murdered by firing squad led by The Belgian Forces and some of his own people.
After his murder, his wife requested to see his body so that she may properly mourn her husband. She never got that opportunity because the body of Patrice was dismembered and dissolved in an acid by the people that killed him.
The heartbroken widow, Pauline protested her husband’s murder on the streets of Congo. She walked naked and barefoot. Patrice was just 35 years old when he was killed and Pauline was 23 years old when her husband died in 1961.
She never remarried until she died in 2014 at the age of 76. No body part of Patrice Lumumba has been found to this day. However, a Belgian soldier that murdered Patrice says after her father died she discovered a tiny box with a tooth in it. The tooth is believed to belong to Patrice.
