To remove photos that you have synced to the iPhone from the computer, you need to do another sync. You need to remove the checkmarks by the photos and then sync. That will remove the photos. See this support document for further instructions Sync photos from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes - Apple Support. Use the section titled Delete Photos.
