In a statement by the police service, the sharing of the images by Alai was termed as unfortunate and inhuman.
"This is glorifying of terror which is tantamount to supporting the same. It is also a cold-hearted display of insensitivity to the families of the deceased," the statement read in part.
NCIC also issued a statement condemning the photos published by blogger Robert Alai following the gruesome incident.
