Dead Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried in a
secret midnight ceremony at an undisclosed location, police say.
According to federal officials, the body was taken from the Graham
Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlor and entombed under cover of darkness
outside of the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, where his remains have
laid since last Friday.
Sergeant Kerry Hazelhurst said the body was no longer in Worcester,
east of Boston and was now entombed. Police did not specify where the
body was taken.
"As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and
compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed
to properly bury the deceased," Worcester police said in a statement.
Tsarnaev's body had been at the Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral
Parlors. Director Peter Stefan had said he could not find a community
willing to take the body, including Cambridge, where the family had
lived for a decade. Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, had custody of the
body.
