A lock of Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s hair snipped after his death in 1967 has sold for 100,000 US dollars (?50,000) at an auction in Dallas, Texas.
A Houston bookshop owner, Bill Butler, 61, won the auction after placing the only bid that matched the reserve price.
The hair was collected by Gustavo Villoldo, a former CIA operative and Cuban exile who wanted proof of the revolutionary’s death after he was captured and executed in Bolivia.
