The photos came from identification left behind by the suspects, police confirmed.

Meantime, police are providing more details on what led up to the initial release of the images – one of which was easily searchable and available for purchase online for $36.

'After reviewing CCTV footage no useful images have been identified for release to the public to further the investigation,' it read. The manhunt has triggered notifications to police agencies across Canada and internationally, continues 'around the clock,' the RCMP said in the statement. The search for Rabih 'Robby' Alkhalil began Thursday evening when he escaped from the North Fraser Pretrial centre in Coquitlam, B.C., in a white Econoline van with two people police described as either 'posing or employed as contractors.' The van has since been found, but all three suspects remain at large.

murder suspect's prison break that turned out to be stock images have 'generated favourable tips for investigators' anyway, according to Mounties.Ī media release from Coquitlam RCMP Monday did not elaborate further.
