Judy Aldrick, Sir Ali Bin Salim and the Making of Mombasa, 2018 - A young ship's engineer named Thomas London had gone ashore at Port Reitz in December 1907 and sat down to rest by a small stream, where he was killed, apparently for no reason. For several weeks the death remained a mystery despite all enquiries. But eventually Ali bin Salim's investigations proved that a powerful Digo wizard named Mwakilungu had instigated it as a ritual killing. Mwakilungu and his four accomplices were arrested and brought to trial, where they admitted they had engaged in white killings, starting with a white fowl and ending with a white man, believing it would increase their magical powers. This was the first murder case tried in the British law courts in Mombasa and the first public hanging in Kenya. A well-known photograph shows the five convicted men with their hands shackled.' They were hung at Mtongwe in 1912. A newspaper report says that Thomas was the son of one of the directors of the Cable & Wireless Co. in Mombasa. It reported he was a ship's engineer who went for a stroll and was killed resting beside a small stream.
