Tamerlan Tsarnaev revelation upsets kin of victims

Friends and relatives of three young men who were slashed to death in a Waltham apartment in 2011 said Wednesday that they remain dissatisfied with the information they have received from public safety officials. They made their comments after federal officials for the first time disclosed publicly in a court filing that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been implicated in the triple homicide.

Federal prosecutors in a court filing said Monday that Ibragim Todashev, a friend of Tsarnaev’s, told investigators that Tsarnaev participated in the Waltham triple homicide, which took place on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.


Mess, who attended Cambridge Rindge & Latin School with Tsarnaev, was a mixed martial arts fighter who often worked out with Tsarnaev.

But Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has declined to open her own investigation into Todashev’s death, citing a lack of jurisdiction.

And Governor Deval Patrick, during a Tuesday interview with Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on WGBH-radio, declined to say whether the troopers could provide an explanation for Todashev’s death.

“As they say in court, question’s been asked and answered,” Patrick said.

The article is misleading.

Todashev was not Tsarnaev's friend, just an aquaintance, according to the relatives. He didn't see him often.

But Brendan Mess, the murdered drug dealer, was a close friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He came often there to visit him, for dinner etc. according to Mess' girlfriend. He even told Mess once laughing that the was on the FBI's terror watch list. So much for the alleged anti-semitic motive of Tsarnaev (Mess war jewish).

And the courage of Massachusetts authorities is breathtaking.
