Boston Bomb Suspect To Face Victims In Court

By Tom Parmenter, Sky Correspondent in Boston

Survivors and people who lost relatives in the Boston bombings are due to come face to face with the man accused of the deadly attacks.

Dzhokar Tsarnaev, 19, is scheduled to make his first public appearance in a Boston courtroom.

Bereaved family members and people who lost limbs in the blasts have vowed to attend the hearing.

One mother Liz Norden, whose sons Paul and JP both lost a leg in the attack, has said she wants to go into court to "face down evil".

The 19-year-old faces 30 charges that include killing four people and "using a weapon of mass destruction".

A total of 17 of the charges carry a possible sentence of life imprisonment or the death penalty. 

Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lingzi Lu were killed

Three people were killed when two bombs exploded close to the finish line of the Boston marathon on April 15.

Eight-year-old Martin Richard, Restaurant manager Krystle Campbell and university student Lingzi Lu were killed.

A further 260 people suffered injuries - many of them losing limbs.

Days after the bombings police officer Sean Collier was shot dead during an extraordinary manhunt that ended in the suburb of Watertown.

Tsarnaev was discovered hiding in a boat parked in a Watertown backyard

Large parts of the city of Boston were put on lockdown as armed police tried to arrest the suspects.

Tsarnaev's older brother Tamerlan was killed in a shoot-out with police.

The indictment states he wrote inside the boat where he hid from police for hours: "The US government is killing our innocent civilians" and "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished".

Tsarnaev, whose family hail from Dagestan in southern Russia, had been studying in Boston before the attacks and has been held at a secure hospital in Massachusetts since his arrest.
