Photoshopped images on news sites?

    While browsing the BBC News NI section, was this story of a murdered woman.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/5408870.stm

    From a report point of view, you can cleary see that the image is doctored, someone has blacked out a cigarette the woman was holding.

    Who wouldve done this? Would it have been the family, the police who released the picture, or more likely the media? It seems that same picture elsewhere on the web is the same.

    Its a very minor issue on the scale of a murder of this young woman, but is this a bit politically correct, that if the woman did indeed smoke, then why not leave the cigarette in?

    It may have been a spliff...

    I thought that too.... how would you like to be the photographer who handed that picture to the PSNI.... Nervous? He may have had the good sense to do so before releasing it.

    by the looks of it, it would have been a very long "ciggy"
