A Massachusetts State Police sergeant was relieved of duty Thursday after supplying Boston Magazine with graphic images from the capture of the Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the editor of the magazine said.
Sgt. Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer, documented the dramatic manhunt for Mr. Tsarnaev, 19, four days after the bombs exploded, killing three and wounding more than 260, near the finish line of the marathon on April 15. Mr. Tsarnaev's older brother and fellow suspect in the bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with the police.
Mr. Tsarnaev was eventually captured hiding in a boat after the city of Boston was effectively shut down by state and local police officials. He pleaded not guilty this month to criminal counts covering his alleged role in the bombing. Mr. Tsarnaev's older brother and fellow suspect in the bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died following a shootout with the police.
Mr. Murphy told the magazine that he decided to release his images — which show a bloodied and surrendering Mr. Tsarnaev — after feeling angered by this month's cover of Rolling Stone magazine, which featured a softer portrait of the alleged bomber.
In a statement he accused Rolling Stone of "glamorizing the face of terror" and providing an incentive to others who might seek fame through similar acts. "This is the real Boston bomber," he said of the Mr. Tsarnaev depicted in his images. "Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine."
In a series of messages posted to Twitter late Thursday night, the editor of Boston Magazine, John Wolfson, said Mr. Murphy had been "relieved of duty," and had his gun, badge and computer taken. He has not been fired, Mr. Wolfson said, but will face a hearing next week.
Massachusetts State Police did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment Thursday night.
