Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh and Ted Bundy, all needed burying. Now it’s Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s turn, reports Michael Daly.

Katherine Russell was devoted enough to Tamerlan Tsarnaev to convert to his religion when he was a champion boxer, but she declined to claim his body as he lay in the coroner’s office after becoming a terrorist bomber.

She instead released the remains to an uncle of Tamerlan's who had very publicly declared that his nephew had fully merited his violent death.

“He deserved this,” the uncle, Russian Tsarni, had announced to reporters.

Tsarni included Tamerlan’s still living brother, Dzkhokhar, in his judgment.
