In reply to the discussion: 'Never in his life': Father of Tsarnaev's friend questions FBI slaying of son [View all]from the same source:
Two officials who were briefed on the investigation said Todashev made statements, while he was being interviewed by the FBI and Massachusetts state police, implicating himself as having been involved in the 2011 Waltham slayings. Neither of the officials, one of whom had earlier told The Associated Press there was no new information on Todashev lunging at the agent, knew whether Todashev had also implicated Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the killings. The two people, a federal law enforcement official and a Massachusetts state official, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.
Neither official was sure of the extent of Todashev's supposed involvement.

Could have boxed as well; didn't the Tsarnaev he was friends with do that? (nt)
