There may be no place in the earth for Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
One of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been dead more than two weeks after a dramatic showdown with police in Watertown, Mass., on April 19.
But officials and his family still don't know where Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen who turned to conservative Islam, will be buried.
On Sunday, city officials in Cambridge, Tsarnaev's home in the United States, announced that the city's cemetery would reject his body for burial after other local cemeteries also said they did not want the remains.
"The difficult and stressful efforts of the citizens of the city of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and widespread media presence at such an interment," Cambridge city manager Bob Healy said in a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times. "The families of loved ones interred in the Cambridge Cemetery also deserve to have their deceased family members rest in peace."
Three people were killed and more than 260 injured in the April 15 Boston bombings.
