Moments before he gets killed the camera flashes towards a nearby building where a gunman – believed to be his killer – appears to be pointing a weapon directly at him.

The camera topples a few seconds later as he’s shot and the video ends with the camera pointing towards the sun as he collapses and stops breathing.

Some soliders went on to take photos of the corpse, as this is believed to glorify martyrdom.
