Eerie handwritten note RFK’s killer wrote before assassination revealed in newly released classified files

More than 1,000 previously unseen documents on Robert F. Kennedy's death have been released by the CIA

The CIA has released a mammoth 1,450 additional pages of documents that are related to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination - more than 50 years after his tragic death.

The American politician and lawyer was shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

The assassination occurred just four and a half years after his brother, President John F. Kennedy, was killed in Dallas.

Among the newly-released pages are 54 previously classified documents that internet sleuths will be no doubt all over.

The most interesting documents to come out of this include a psychological profile of convicted killer Sirhan, as well as his very eerie handwritten notes.

The scariest one of all is perhaps a note where he jotted: "Kennedy must fall," followed by "Tonight, tonight."

A CIA statement accompanying the shocking release, reads: "The records reveal for the first time that Senator Kennedy shared his experiences traveling to the former Soviet Union with CIA, reflecting his patriotic commitment to serving his country."

The paperwork also goes into Sirhan’s family history and international ties but clarifies he was never connected to any terrorist groups.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has also issued a statement, following the release of the documents.

According to the New York Post, he said: "Today’s release delivers on President Trump’s commitment to maximum transparency, enabling the CIA to shine light on information that serves the public interest."

US Health and Human Services Secretary, and more importantly, RFK's son, Robert F. Kenned, Jr, also commented on the new release, as reported by AOL.

He said: "Lifting the veil on the RFK papers is a necessary step toward restoring trust in American government. I commend President Trump for his courage and his commitment to transparency. I’m grateful also to Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe for their dogged efforts to root out and declassify these documents."

It comes after Trump ordered the intelligence community to review and release documents not only relating to RFK, but also JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. back in January.

The first bunch of classified files about the assassination of John F Kennedy were released to the public in March, with more than 31,000 pages’ worth of 1,100 documents posted on the US National Archives and Records Administration’s website.

And when it comes to RFK - there have already been 10,000 pages released in April and a further 60,000 in May before these.
