Instagram is under fire for reportedly leaving graphic photos of murdered 17-year-old Bianca Devins online for several hours.
Police have confirmed the internet celebrity ‘egirl’ was killed in the city she lived – Utica, New York – on the morning of July 14 (local time).
A 21-year-old suspect is in the hospital recovering from what police say are self-inflicted wounds after posting photos of Devins’ body on gaming website Discord, notorious image-sharing bulletin 4chan and Instagram.
“I’m sorry Bianca,” was reportedly his caption on an Instagram photo described by Rolling Stone as “extremely graphic and bloody”.
