WORCESTER The distraught mother of Boston Marathon bombing mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev wants his body sent home to Russia, the funeral director caring for the remains said today.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva called Peter A. Stefan in tears yesterday afternoon, said Stefan, whose Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlor has been seeking a Massachusetts cemetery that will accept Tsarnaevs body since Friday.
The woman was in tears, Stefan said. She just said, It would be nice if you could get him home. Shed love to have him back there, obviously. Regardless of what he did, shes still his mother. What are you going to say to her? What can you say?
Stefan said the body has been cleansed per Muslim tradition by Tsarnaevs uncle, is wrapped in shrouds and is ready to be shipped or interred locally. No community has been willing to take it.
I have refrigeration. I can hold him for a long time, Stefan said. Itd be a great idea if we could send him to Russia, but I would have to have something from the State Department. This is a national security situation. We cant just send a body over like were dumping it.
Gov. Deval Patrick said this morning the state will not intervene.
This isnt a state or a federal issue; its the familys issue, the governor told reporters at an event in New Bedford. And the family has some options. I assume they will make a decision soon. I hope they do. I think everybody is feeling upset about what happened. But we showed the world in the immediate aftermath of the attacks what a civilization looks like, and Im proud of what we showed and I think we continue to do that by stepping back and let the family make their decisions.
The governor said if the body is buried in Massachusetts, he is not concerned the gravesite could become a shrine for Tsarnaevs admirers or a magnet for protesters.
Look, we are a strong community, Patrick said. We have strong feelings about the people who hurt us, but I think our focus now has to be on prosecuting those involved, and getting to the end of the investigation, which is ongoing, and repairing our communities, so that we can move forward.
Given the difficulty in finding a cemetery, Stefan said, Tsarnaevs uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, now just wants a burial. It doesnt even have to be a Muslim grave. Thats how far along we are.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, who is on a terror watch list and is the subject of an outstanding warrant for shoplifting, has not returned to the U.S. since her 26-year-old son was fatally shot in a gunfight with police in Watertown April 19 and run over by his 19-year-old sibling with their getaway car.
Worcester Police Chief Gary J. Gemme met with Stefan this morning at the funeral home, which has been the target of about a half-dozen protesters since Friday.
Rest in hell! and Get that trash out of our city! passers-by yelled out this morning.
I think the American public is going to realize, we bury everybody, Stefan said. Right now emotions are running high.
He said hell foot the bill himself to put Tsarnaevs body on a plane, if Secretary of State John F. Kerry can assure him it will be respectfully dealt with on the other end of the flight.
Ill pay for it myself. Its only a couple thousand dollars. My question is, is someone going to do something once I get him there? Not go back and forth and hold him there because hes a terrorist or whatever, Stefan said. That day, have a service, a burial and end it. This is becoming an international political football.
Every time I read something like this my previous abyssmally low estomate of the media reaches even worse depths. WHO GIVES A CRAP WHAT THAT A**HOLE'S MOTHER thinks. What about the mother of the 8 yo this turd murdered? I wonder where the media story on HER tears is. Or about the people maimed. Where are the storys on THERI tears. Shoot him. Shoot his brother. Shoot his mother. Publically.
The turd in the whitehouse probably.
I hope that no airline will agree to transport this bastard’s innards. Leave him in the backyard of a funeral home somewhere and cover him with pig parts.
This should be the way all muslim terrorists should be processed for burial.
Twix Dick and Perry in Lansing Kansas...
“Funeral director: Bombers mom wants body buried in Russia”
Fine,Russia, Krapistan, any place to get this dirtbag’s carcass out of our country.
Take your POS wormfood and GTFOH ...
One among many. America...what a country!
The mother is a criminal...shoplifting, at least. She most likely is a co-terrorist (as are all moozlums). Grind up the body and use a crop-duster to spray it over chechnia. Who cares what any terrorist thinks about anything???????
How can you, presumably an American yourself, yet have questions about the sanctimony of some of our co-nationals?
When they aid and abet the people killing you it’s fairly easy.
Tell the bitch to wire the money and ship him in a pickle barrel.
I was thinking, put a cinderblock on each leg, tie his
brother to him face to face and dump them Both out past
the 12 mile limit.
That’s how it was done in colonial times.
Make sure he is buried with his Section 8 voucher, food stamp card, and Obama bumper sticker.
Keeping it here will end up costing us millions. Shipping it home will cost a couple grand at most and just about any airline will do it.
I’m not real concerned about punishing the body.
Let MOM shoplift from the GUM department store in Russia if she can't come up with the rubles to get her little terrorist home.
Bury him on prison grounds.
Of course! We wouldn’t want to be thought of as racist or Islamophobic.
Shouldn’t it be the wife’s decision legally? Or is she not legally the wife, or has she handed it over to the parents?
