WORCESTER, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – Nineteen days after Boston Marathon Bomber No. 1 Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a gunbattle with police, cemeteries still refused to take his remains and government officials deflected questions about where he could be buried. The chief of the Worcester Police Department held a news conference Wednesday morning regarding the search for a burial plot for Tsarnaev's body. "I condemn the cruelty and savagery of the deceased in the harshest possible terms. And while I question the practicality of the decision to bring his body to the City of Worcester, I believe that Mr. Peter Stefan made his decision out of compassion and respect for his obligation to his profession," Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said. "However, Mr. Stefan's unilateral decision has created significant local public safety challenges and unnecessary costs." Tsarnaev's body remains at Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors, where it has been since last Friday. The Boston Herald reports that Worcester funeral director Peter Stefan said Wednesday that "Friday is D-Day," and that if all else fails, he will press the issue with Cambridge. Read More. |
