‘FORENSIC HITS’

Report: Evidence Ties Tsarnaevs to Homicide

An unsolved triple murder from 2011.

Police say they have found “mounting evidence” tying Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev to a brutal triple homicide in 2011. Massachusetts investigators told ABC News that they’ve found “forensic hits” linking both Boston bombing suspects to the crime, but that it’s still too early to consider indicting Dzhokhar. Tamerlan was a roommate of one of the victims, Brendan Mess, who was found dead, along with two other men, in his home with his throat slit. The bodies were covered with marijuana, prompting theories that the elder Tsarnaev was angry that Dzhokhar, an enthusiastic pot smoker, had been toking up with Mess. Meanwhile, the suspects’ uncle told the Associated Press that Tamerlan has been buried near Richmond, Virginia.
