Dzokhar Tsarnaev was handed the death penalty by trial judge George O’Toole for his role in the bombing that killed 3 and injured 260 people.

Tsarnaev and elder brother Tamerlan set off bombs at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. His brother was killed in the manhunt for the duo, leaving Dzokhar to face trial.

A jury had earlier reached the verdict, but the formal sentencing was done by Judge O’Toole. Allowed to speak to his victims, Tsarnaev accepted responsibility and apologised for his actions.

“Now, I am sorry for the lives that I’ve taken, for the suffering that I’ve caused you, for the damage that I’ve done. Irreparable damage,” Tsarnaev said.

“Allah said in the Quran that no soul is burdened with more than it can bear, and you told us just how unbearable it was, how horrendous it was, this thing I put you through,.

“I pray Allah bestow his mercy upon the deceased, those affected in the bombing and their families. I pray for your relief, for your healing, for your well-being, for your strength.” The convicted bomber said.
