Photo

In Saturday’s edition of Stabroek News under the heading ‘Suspect in fatal hit-and-run re-manded’ the photo below was provided to the newspaper by a freelance photographer who said he had obtained it independently. The online news service Demerara Waves has since claimed the image. Stabroek News following investigations concedes that the image it used appears to be identical to Demerara Waves’ and could be its image. It is not Stabroek News’ policy to use images from competitors and had it been aware that it could have been Demerara Waves’ it would not have been used.
