Albert Luthulis Daughter-in-law Describes His Injuries To The Court

Testifying in the re-opened inquest into the death of ANC leader Inkosi Albert Luthuli in 1967, daughter-in-law Wilhelminah Luthuli has described his injuries to the Pietermaritzburg High Court.

She has testified that the family never believed that he was struck by a train as the original inquest found.

She has told the court some important evidence was never revealed in that inquest, saying she believes it was to cover up for the governments involvement in Luthulis death.

Wilhemina Luthuli says her father-in-law left home early in the morning as was his habit.

She says when she saw Luthuli in hospital he had a deep gash on the top of his head.
