Cop Sean Murphy disciplined over leaked photos of bloodied Dzhokhar Tsarnaev capture
A MASSACHUSETTS State Police photographer who released photos of the bloodied Boston marathon bombing suspect during his capture has been placed on restricted duty.
Sgt. Sean Murphy leaked the photos to Boston Magazine last week, saying he wanted to counter a glamorised image of Dzhokhar Tsaaev on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
On Tuesday, Mr Murphy was placed on desk duty, where he would have no contact with the public, until a further investigation is completed.
Mr Murphy wasn't authorised to release the 14 photos, and he's already served a one-day, unpaid suspension.
Some attoeys say the release of photos and Mr Murphy's comments could be used to argue govement bias against Tsaaev.
Tsaaev was captured hiding in a boat in the Boston suburb of Watertown four days after the April 15 bombings.
