Bloodied and bruised at the moment of surrender: Dramatic new pictures emerge of the moment 'Boston bomber' climbed from the boat where he had been hiding, as a sniper took aim at his head

UK Daily Mail
  • Sobering pictures were taken by Sergeant Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer with the Massachusetts state police
  • Murphy released the pictures to the Boston Magazine without permission in response to Rolling Stone's cover image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
  • "Cornered by police, the photos show the 19-year-old in a blood-splattered black jumper, with hands stained red and a sniper's laser aimed directly at his forehead.
    "The sobering pictures were released by Sergeant Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer with the Massachusetts state police, in a bid to show the real face of terrorism in reaction to the 'glamorized' image of Tsarnaev that graces the cover of Rolling Stone magazine's controversial new issue.
    "The officer has now been suspended over his decision to leak the photos, and will find out next week whether or not he will be allowed to keep his job."

    This would make a better Rolling Stone cover:
