   Remembering Patrice Lumumba 60 years on

   Sunday marked the 60th anniversary of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba - the Democratic Republic of Congo's first prime minister who became a pan-African icon.

   Lumbumba was killed by a firing squad in January 1961, only months after taking office.

   In 2002, former colonial power Belgium admitted responsibility for its part in the killing without naming any of the perpetrators, and the CIA is widely believed to have played a role.

   Lumumba's body was never found but one of his teeth was believed to be kept in Brussels by one of the people who participated in his killing.

   Last year a court in Belgium ordered the tooth be returned to his family in time for this year's independence day celebration on 30 June.

   A month ago, DR Congo's President Félix Tshisekedi said the country would build a mausoleum to the independence hero.

   Among those who paid tribute to Lumumba on the 60th anniversary of his death was Congolese Nobel Laureate Denis Mukwege, who called him "one of the greatest heroes in history".
