The uncle of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has arrived in Massachusetts to bury him, saying he understands that "no one wants to associate their names with such evil events".
Ruslan Tsarni, of Montgomery Village, Maryland, and three of his friends met with the Worcester funeral home director and prepared to wash and shroud Tsarnaev's body according to Muslim tradition.
The 26-year-old died after a gun battle with police on April 19.
Funeral director Peter Stefan says he hasn't been able to find a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to take the body.
