WASHINGTON (AP) — The uncle of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev says his nephew has been buried in Virginia.
Ruslan Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, said Friday that the body was buried with the help of a “faith coalition.” He would not say where in Virginia the remains had been entombed.
