BOSTON BOMBER DZHKHAR TSARMAEV SENTENCED TO DEATH BY LETHAL INJECTION

A US based court has sentenced Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death by lethal injection.

In 2013, three people were killed and 260 injured when Tsarnaev and his brother placed bombs at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon in 2013.


According to reports, Tsarnaev is likely to be moved to a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, to await execution, but there could be years of appeals.

The bombs killed 3 while over 260 were  injured

Victims sobbed as the sentence was read, but Tsarnaev showed no emotion.

"Now he will go away and we will be able to move on. Justice. In his own words, 'an eye for an eye'," said bombing victim Sydney Corcoran, who nearly bled to death and whose mother lost both legs.

After 14 hours of deliberations, the jury concluded that he showed no remorse and therefore should be put to death.

"The jury has spoken. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will pay for his crimes with his life,'' said US Attorney Carmen Ortiz.
