The dead suspect in the Boston marathon bombings has been named in court papers as a participant in a triple murder. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24641671
Tamerlan Tsarnaev is alleged to have taken part in the killings in Waltham, Massachusetts, in September 2011.
Three men, one of whom had been a friend of Tsarnaev, were found in a flat with their necks slit and bodies reportedly covered with marijuana.
A Chechen immigrant, Ibragim Todashev, allegedly implicated Tsarnaev in the crime, investigators said in a court filing.
Todashev was shot and killed in May this year at his home in Orlando, Florida, during a confrontation with FBI and other police who had been interviewing him about his links to Tsarnaev.
According to Monday’s court filing, Todashev, 27, had told investigators he himself was also involved in the triple homicide.
