WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was secretly buried in an undisclosed location outside Worcester after a frustrating weeklong search for a community willing to take the body, police said Thursday.“As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased,” Worcester police said in a statement.Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst said the body was no longer in Worcester and had been entombed, but he would not say where.A day earlier, police in Worcester, about 50 miles west of Boston, pleaded for a resolution, saying they were spending tens of thousands of dollars to protect the funeral home where Tsarnaev’s body had been kept since shortly after it was released by the medical examiner May 1. He was killed in a getaway attempt after a gunbattle with police.Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Thursday that he's glad the Tsarnaev family found a burial location but does not know where it is.He called the weeklong drama over where to bury Tsarnaev a circus and said he hopes attention can now return to caring for the victims of the bombing, which killed three people and injured 260.
