in shulchan aruch it talks about a Jew being murdered and says that when 
this happens the jew should be buried in his clothes and not tachrichim 
so all can see and get angry about what happened.

I dont remember the siman/se'if in Yoreh dei'ah offhand, but I will find 
it tomorrow.

[YD 164:4 -micha]

That halacha seems to indicate that it is imperative that the images 
SHOULD be displayed in such a murder.
