You apparently bought a used iPad since there is no reason why somebody else's photos would be on a brand new device. If the photos were synced to the iPad, the only way to remove them is by syncing again and you must either unselect the Sync Photos heading if you want to remove all of them, and then follow that with a sync. You can also select an empty folder on your computer in the Sync Photos from heading of iTunes and then follow that woth a sync to remove the photos.
if the photos were taken with the iPad or saved from emails or websites (camera roll photos) - tap on one of the photos, and the trash can appears, you can tap the trash can to delete the photo.
