2013 Boston Marathon bomber to die through lethal injection

A US jury has sentenced Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death by lethal injection. Three people were killed and 260 injured when Tsarnaev, now 21, and his brother placed bombs at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon in 2013.

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