South African court rules apartheid police killed Nobel laureate Albert Luthuli

A South African court ruled Nobel laureate Albert Luthuli was killed by apartheid police, overturning the accidental death finding from 1967. The ruling states Luthuli's death resulted from an assault, not a train accident, based on evidence of a fractured skull and cerebral hemorrhage. His family and the ANC welcomed the decision. This judgment is part of broader efforts to address apartheid-era crimes, following reopenings of investigations into other prominent anti-apartheid figures.
