Huge trove of files released about RFK’s assassination

Among the trove of documents released were the FBI’s witness and evidence reports from the night of the assassination, letters of remorse from ambassadors and world leaders to the Department of State and official correspondence about the killer’s trial.

Kennedy, the brother of former president John F Kennedy, was killed while serving as the Democratic senator of New York and campaigning for president.

The assassination occurred just after midnight on 5 June. Kennedy was departing from a ballroom inside the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles moments after winning the California primary and seizing momentum in the race when he was shot multiple times in the kitchen by 24-year-old Sirhan Sirhan.
