Eric Shieni

Eric Shieni was a finance student at the University of Nairobi, weeks from the kind of future the Finance Bill threatened to foreclose. On the afternoon Parliament was stormed, he was among the crowd outside the gates. The BBC Africa Eye investigation 'Blood Parliament' traced the round that killed him to a uniformed soldier; the trajectory showed he was shot in the back, from a distance, while moving away. He was 27. His name became one of the most documented of the day precisely because the footage left so little room for doubt.
