The victims
Lu Lingzi was a student of twenty years. From Shenyang University, where she studied international trade she attended math at Boston Univertsity. She was attending with two Chinese friends the arrival of Marathon.
Richard Martin, an 8 year old boy came to see his father at the arrival Marthon. He hugged his father who continued to locker room and it came back to join his mother and sister. That's when the bomb explodes
Krystle Campbell, aged 29, was a restaurant manager. His devated father describes her as a sweet and caring person who helped everyone. She accompanied a friend whose boyfriend participated in the marathon. Her friend was also seriously wounded.
About 260 people were injured, some lost their legs including the sister of Martin.
The bombing
This photo taken with a mobile shows Richard Martin, the youngest victim, with his mother and sister. We see the bomb on the ground behind the barrier and above we recognizes Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who just dropped the bag and go away.
The photo below shows one of the two suspects, the man in the white hat on the left. Surveillance cameras have shown him with a backpack before the explosions. This photo was taken by David Green, an amateur photographer of 49 years who runs a sportwear store, just after one of the two explosions.
And we see that it carries no more backpack. The dark spot on the wall is identical to that of the other portion of the right wall.
Some have questioned the authenticity of the photo, and have pointed to the "distortion of pixels" on the suspect, but to prove it one should show the original which would have been manipulated with Photoshop, which has not been done. In addition, its author was interviewed by several FBI agents.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
The suspect's name is now known: Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev (19) is of Chechen origin. His brother Tamerlan Tzarnaev (26) and accomplice was killed by the police. They tried to rob a shop in Cambridge and killed a policeman of the MIT campus. Then they carjacked a Mercedes and the driver was kept hostage 30 minutes.
When Dzhokkar entered the car he said to the drive:
Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that.
When they stopped at a gas station a the Memorial Drive of Cambridge, they went to get a snack and the hostage took the opportunity to escape and alerted the police. With the payment card of the driver, they withdrew money from a distributor. As they reached the limit of $ 800, they tried their luck on two other machines. Apparently they did not know that distributors are connected to a central site! (They were in the USA for 10 years).
The two terrorists were however kept the driver's mobile phone, which allowed to track them. A police officer followed the Mercedes. They then stopped and gunshots were exchanged. They were heavily armed. Tamerlane was killed and Dzhokkar fled with the vehicle rolling over the body of his brother. According to the results of the autopsy, Tamerlane is dead because both bullets and a head crash.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured by the police on the 19th at 7:00 in the morning. He was wounded and hidden in a boat in the yard of a house of Boston, outside the security perimeter which he had managed to escape. David Henneberry, noticed that the cover of his boat was detached. He looked inside and saw a pool of blood. He then folded the bacher and called the police.
The police surrounded the scene and sent a robot to look into the boat. They tried to contact him without success and then captured him.

The legal status of the two killers
Anzor Tsarnaev arrived in the U.S. with a tourist visa in 2002. He was accompanied by Tamerlan, 15 years and Dzhokkar, 8 years. He was granted political asylum. In 2007, Dzhokkar get a green card and become a permanent resident, but not his brother.
As you can obtain citizenship five years after obtaining the green card, Dzhokkar became an American citizen on 11 September 2012 (a very special birthday). This was denied to his brother following a negative advice from the FBI. In 2011 Russia had asked the FBI to investigate Tamerlan Tsarnaev on suspicion he adhered to radical Islam. The CIA had been contacted too and requested registration of Tamerlan in TIDE, the list of people to watch.
Katherine Russell
Tamerlane's wife is 24 years old and him 26 when he was killed. She was arrested in 2007 for theft but without further action. She met Tamerlane in 2009. He was an ex-boxer. In 2009 he was convicted of beating his girl friend. She dreamed of joining the Peace Corps, but has been transformed since their relationship. He was manipulative and jealous.
He treated Katherine of slut or prostitute and asked her to convert to Islam before marrying. After marrying in 2010 in a mosque, she stopped her studies and completely cut contact with friends and family. They lived of allowances for a year and then she worked as a nurse's aide for 80 hours per week to support the couple.
Since April 18, she remains alone with her daughter but fled to her parents' home who are struggling to recognize her as she is now.
The terrorist on Twitter
We discovered the Twitter account Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: J_tsar. The name is explained by the fact he was often called Jahar. We also found his picture in a profile archive.
Some of his tweets:
I'm a stress free kind of guy.
There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority.

Most of you are conditioned by the media.

He seems to be converted to radical isam in December 2012. On 15 jan 2013, this astonishing post:
I don't argue with fools who say islam is terrorism it's not worth a thing, let an idiot remain an idiot.
Those who knew him are shocked to learn that he has committed. He was always smiling said an African-American. Another post this tweet:
The uncle of the two terrorists spoke on the air, about his brother and sons. They are losers has he said. They never found work since they are refugees here. They lived of welfare until 2012.
About the father, he says his son are innocent and that this is a stunt. However, the more we learn about the two characters and the more we discover to what point they are idiots. Something they apparently inherited.
April 24. Although the body of Tamerlan, killed on 18 April, was available to be returned to his family they have not claimed it. His widow, Katherine Russell asked that the body be sent to the family.

Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov two Kazaks, entered his apartment and took his computer and fireworks and other object allowing to build a bomb, and put them in the trash. The computer, however, and the backpack was retrieved by the FBI. Robel Phillipos, a US citizen, was also arrested because he was aware of the facts.
Tazhayakov instructed the police that he had seen Dzhokhar try fireworks on the river bank several months ago without having understood what he was preparing. He also said that a month before the attack, Dzhokhar told him that he knew how to make a bomb. And two days later he noticed that he had got a short haircut.
May 16, 2013. According to CBS News, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have written a message with a marker on the side of the boat where he was hiding, when he was bleeding and was expected to die. He claimed the attack as a revenge against the U.S. action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and declares that the victims are equivalent to collateral damage on civilians in these countries. When you attack a Muslim, you attack all, he wrote.
May 15, 2015. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death. The jury of Boston federal court was not persuaded by the argument of counsel for Tsarnaev, for whom he was manipulated by his brother.
