"I am hurt for all the people who lost someone," she said. "I lost a relative, my brother. I love my brothers, this is shocking. I don't know what got into them."
The suspects' father Anzort Tsarnaev reportedly told People Magazine, "This could not be happening. "I feel terrible! Why they kill my son? Something wrong! My sons never do bombing," he insisted. "They hated guns - how they do bombs?" Their aunt Maret Tsarnaeva saying that their should be more proof should be given before branded as terrorists.
