Boston Marathon: Suspect's parents put off trip to the US, On April 28, USA Today reported that the parents of the Boston bombing suspects have put their return trip to America on hold.
It's been nearly two weeks since 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev were named as suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. In that time investigators have learned a lot about the brothers and their families.
Their parents Zubeidat Tsarnaeva and Anzor Tsarnaev who currently live in Russia have been very outspoken about crimes their sons are accused of. In recent days it was believed the two would return to the U.S. to retrieve their son's body; however, USA Today reports that Anzor Tsarnaev says he is too ill to travel.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva has made headline news of her own over the last few days because of an alleged phone conversation she had with her elder son Tamerlan in 2011. Additionally, investigators learned the mother and son were placed on the American terrorism watch list in 2011 based on a tip from Russian officials.
The exact reason the family postponed their trip may never be known, but the delay has left the remains of Tamerlan Tsarnaev unclaimed.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a gunfight with police on April 18. His brother, Dzhokhar was also shot, and is recovering from his wounds in a federal medical center where he is being held for his alleged role in the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured over 200 others.
