[emad]

The US is marking 40 years since the assassination of Robert F Kennedy, known as Bobby, as he campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The 42-year-old was shot on 5 June 1968 in the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, just after winning the California state primary. He died the next day.

His death came only two months after that of civil rights leader Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tennessee.

It was less than five years since the killing of his brother, John F Kennedy.
