A composite image of Charles de Menezes and attempted suicide bomber Hussain Osman has been described as "enhanced" in court.

The prosecution in the trial of the Metropolitan Police over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes has claimed that a composite image of him and the attempted suicide bomber Hussain Osman issued by the defence was "enhanced".

Mr de Menezes was shot at Stockwell station in 2005, after being mistaken for Osman.

Earlier in the trial the defence issued the above image, which shows half of of de Menezes' face, and half of Osman's face - to illustrate the difficulties officers faced in telling them apart.
