Boston funeral home comes under fire

A funeral home director in the US city of Boston has come under fire for accepting the body of a suspect for the bombings on the Marathon in the city.

On Sunday, half a dozen protesters gathered outside Graham, Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester, in Massachusetts to condemn Peter Stefan for taking the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Holding signs and US flags, the protesters chanted slogans urging Stephan not to bury him.
The funeral home director said he hasn’t been able to find a cemetery in the state willing to take the body. Stefan said he is planning to ask the city of Cambridge to provide a burial plot, and if Cambridge turns him down, he will seek help from state officials.
Meanwhile, Tsarnaev’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, arrived at the funeral home to arrange for his burial.
Twenty six-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev died three days after the deadly April 15 bombing which claimed the lives of three people and wounded over 260 sixty others.
His brother, Dzhokhar, who US officials say accompanied him during the operation, is now in a prison hospital and faces a potential death sentence if convicted of the terrorism plot.
