Tears flowed freely at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi as Kenyans paid an emotional tribute to Boniface Kariuki, the 23-year-old hawker who was shot dead at close range by a police officer outside Imenti House during last month’s protests.

Kariuki’s mother, Susan  Njeri, had her tribute read on her behalf by a family member, Hannah Wanjiku.
