( CNN ) -- The backlash over Rolling Stone 's cover photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev led to the release of new photos of his capture Thursday , images a police photographer said show `` the real Boston bomber . '' In contrast to the tousle-haired , placid-looking 19-year-old on the front of the magazine , the new pictures show Tsarnaev emerging from the boat where he was cornered -- his face smeared with blood , his skin ashen in the laser glow from snipers ' gun sights . In one , he pulls up his shirt , apparently showing he has no weapon underneath ; in another , he slumps across the deck of the trailered boat , his bloodied arm hanging down . The pictures were taken by Massachusetts State Police Sgt . Sean Murphy and published online by Boston Magazine on Thursday afternoon . Boston Marathon Terror Attack : Fast Facts . In a statement accompanying the photos , Murphy called the Rolling Stone cover `` an insult '' and `` hurtful '' to survivors of the April 15 bombings . `` This guy is evil , '' Murphy said . `` This is the real Boston bomber . Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine . '' John Wolfson , Boston Magazine 's editor in chief , said the magazine has hundreds of similar photos and will publish more in its September issue . He said Murphy was `` conflicted on some level '' about releasing the photos , but `` genuinely worried '' about how the Rolling Stone cover will affect the victims ' families . `` I think he was also worried that certain impressionable people might be lured to replicate that by the kind of glamorous-looking photo that is on the Rolling Stone cover , '' Wolfson told CNN 's `` The Situation Room . '' Woman gets new leg - and new life - after Boston bombings . A Massachusetts State Police spokesman said that the agency had not authorized the photos ' release . `` Today 's dissemination to Boston Magazine of photographs of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev and police activity related to his capture was not authorized by the Massachusetts State Police , '' spokesman David Procopio said in a statement issued Thursday night . `` The department will not release the photographs to media outlets . The State Police will have no further comment on this matter tonight . '' Procopio told CNN late Thursday night that Murphy had been relieved of duty for one day and will have a status hearing to determine whether he will be on full duty , restricted duty or suspended during an internal police investigation . The hearing will likely be next week , Procopio said . Murphy could not be immediately reached for comment . Tsarnaev is awaiting trial on federal charges in the Boston Marathon bombings , which killed three people and wounded more than 260 on April 15 . In addition , a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot to death during the dramatic pursuit of Tsarnaev and his brother , Tamerlan , who was killed during a gun battle with police . Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty . Did missed connections in murder case open door to Boston bombings ? Rolling Stone has defended its decision to profile Tsarnaev , whom the same cover called a `` monster . '' The magazine said the story `` falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone 's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day . '' But the cover photo has sparked fury on social media and prompted several retail chains to pull the issue from their racks . Still , some people seemed eager to sell it . By Thursday , the eBay auction website listed dozens of copies of the controversial edition of Rolling Stone for sale . CNN 's Dave Alsup and Laura Batchelor contributed to this report .
