PRESIDENT PATRICE LUMUMBA

In 1999 the former Belgian police officer Gerard Soete admitted that he disposed of the remains of Congo's first elected president Patrice Lumumba in a tv programme called 'Histories.' During a later programme he opened a drawer and took out a gilded tooth, which became the only remains of Patrice Lumumba the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that was buried.

He later pronounced on 15 May 2002, forty years after the disappearance of the Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba saying.

“I cut up and dissolved Lumumba's body in acid. In the middle of the African night, we started by getting drunk to have courage. We got rid of the bodies. The hardest part was cutting them into pieces with a chainsaw before pouring acid into them. There was almost nothing left, only a few teeth. And the smell! I washed three times and always felt like a barbarian dirty ”
