2 Faces of Rihanna

Chris Brown !!! - Your day will come.... You Zombie!!!!!

The image shows Rihanna's battered face, the photo taken by police soon after the infamous brawl with Chris Brown.

The picture showed Rihanna's cut forehead above each of her eyebrows, marks on her cheek and bleeding around her lips.

Los Angeles police have now launched an investigation to find how the image was leaked to TMZ.

A spokesman from the department said: "The photograph has the appearance of one taken during an official Domestic Violence investigation.

"The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence.

"The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint.

"A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."

Brown, a multi-platinum selling singer, allegedly attacked Rihanna, 20, on February 8 in Los Angeles after a pre-Grammy's party. He was arrested shortly after.

He was arrested and may face charges from the district attorney.

Police have said the 19-year-old singer could face domestic violence charges if prosecutors think they are appropriate.

No public statement has been issued on behalf of Rihanna, who turns 21 on Friday, and she has not been seen in public since the attack.

Brown released a statement on Sunday, which read: "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired."

The statement, which did not mention Rihanna, said that Brown was consulting with loved ones, his mother and pastor.
