I read the article you posted PeacefulWarrior, thanks for sharing. I'm well familiar with Dian Fossey's story, it's heartbreaking. I just wouldn't call her murder mysterious, as terrible as that may sound. It's Africa. Around the time she was killed, the Hutu/Tutsi tension was already building, and she could have done something as innocent as simply getting along with some Tutsis, which would have made her a target.
You have to go back all the way to King Leopold to understand how sensitive you have to be with these ethnic tensions in Rwanda. The colonisers favoured the Tutsis, which enraged the Hutus. I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm just saying her death wasn't necessarily related to her work with the gorillas.
King Leopold's Ghost is a great book, and explains the deep distrust they have to this day for white people. The history is well known to them all.
