80% Informative

BBC analysis of more than 5,000 images shows that those killed there were unarmed and not posing a threat.

BBC World Service team analysed videos and photos taken by protesters and journalists on the day .

We plotted three of the killings on a 3D reconstruction of Kenya 's parliament, allowing us to trace the fatal shots back to the rifles of a police officer and soldier.

Footage shows student journalist holding up a Kenyan flag as he tried to reach Chege and another casualty bleeding out after the gunfire.

In the video of the officer shouting, "uaa!", the shooter's back was to the camera.

But the BBC compared his body armour, riot shield and headgear with that of every police officer at the scene.

No-one has been held accountable for the deaths of Chege or Mutisya.
