THE surviving suspect in last week's Boston Marathon bombing was moved to a prison medical center outside Boston on Friday, while the body of his older brother who died in a shootout with police remained unclaimed, officials said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old ethnic Chechen charged with the bombing that killed three people and wounded 264, was moved from the hospital where he was kept under guard since he was arrested, badly wounded, a week ago, the United States Marshals Service said.
New details emerged on Friday about Dzhokhar and older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev's movements the evening of April 18 after authorities identified the pair publicly in photos as the suspects in the bombing attack.
The Boston Globe published an interview with a 26-year-old Chinese man whose car they hijacked and briefly intended to drive to New York for another bombing before they stopped for gas, allowing their captive to escape.
"I don't want to die," the man, who the Globe identified only by his English nickname Danny, recounted as telling them. "I have a lot of dreams that haven't come true yet."
He kept the brothers calm by playing up his outsider status although at first they were puzzled by his Chinese accent, the Globe said. After determining that he was Chinese, Tamerlan identified himself as a Muslim.
"Chinese are very friendly to Muslims!" Danny said, according to the Globe. "We are so friendly to Muslims."
One of the three people who died in the bombing was Chinese, 23-year-old graduate student Lu Lingzi. An eight-year-old boy, Martin Richard and 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell were also killed in the attack.
Danny was put in touch with the Globe by James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University in Boston, where the man was a student, Fox said. Fox writes a blog for the Boston Globe website.
The body of Tamerlan, 26, remained unclaimed more than a week following his death in a gunbattle with police in Watertown, Massachusetts, after allegedly shooting dead a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer.
The body remained with the office of Massachusetts' chief medical examiner, said spokesman Terrel Harris.
His father, Anzor Tsarnaev, told reporters in Russia on Thursday that he intended to travel to Boston to bury his son. Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, has retreated to the North Kingstown, Rhode Island, home of her parents.
Authorities moved Dzhokhar to the prison at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where some of the victims were also being treated. The jail specializes in inmates who need long-term medical or mental health care, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. It currently holds about 1,000 prisoners.
