A colonial homeguard shot and wounded Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi after they ambushed him in the morning hour. However, the spot onto which his blood dripped into the ground never became productive.

Dedan Kimathi, the poster child for the struggle for independence, was one of fighters who fell victim to the loyalists. On October 21, 1956, Ndirangu Mau, nicknamed Githimii, shot Kimathi.

The famous Trial of Dedan Kimathi play by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and co-written with Micere Githae Mugo will be performed in Kenya, giving fans a look into history.
