An aunt of the two suspects in the Boston marathon attack told the Toronto Sun she was stunned by news of the bombing and subsequent deadly manhunt, which claimed the life of a campus police officer at MIT, Sean Collier. 

“This is a huge tragedy for the family,” Maret Tsarnaev, 45, said. “My brother’s two boys, they are growing up so fast. My first reaction is, ‘Why the hell would they do this?’ But when I go through all the material, it’s not giving anything … the whole world is now making a decision (on them) now by just seeing these pictures and not having anything else.”
