Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

"detectives noted that the artist's impression of "Mr Kipper" strongly resembled John Cannan, a convicted rapist who had been residing in a nearby prison hostel outside HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs in the lead up to Lamplugh's disappearance".

Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a low resolution image of the artwork will not impact the commercial viability of the art.
Other information Both of these images were released to the public for broad distribution by the Metropolitan Police and Avon and Somerset Police in 1986 and 1987. These police forces, who created the images, would not lose profit from their further distribution. They are believed to be free for distribution and reuse. Both have been extensively disseminated in the news media, both TV and print, since the 1980s.

The image is used to illustrate to a reader the comparisons police made between the main suspect and the photofit in the case. They are believed to depict the same person. Both are police handouts so were intended to be spread amongst the public for identification purposes.

Images have been widely distributed upon the internet and in printed format since 1970, and in a much better resolution quality. Original authors have been named. Images are in black and white only. Unique name I have given to this file makes any ambiguous usage extremely unlikely.

The original source for the second photo provides itself only a cropped version of the original image, which can be readily seen in full online.

It is an irreplaceable image because although the e-fit represents the prime suspect it is not the image of any living person. Also, the individual in the second image has no free images available of him online, and there likely will never be one now since the individual is imprisoned and has been so since 1987.
