More Possible Suspects in the 2011 Waltham Triple Murder?

While two suspects - one of them an alleged Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev - are dead, an investigation into a triple murder that happened in Waltham is still open, as there may be others.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy told a WGBH radio host on Tuesday that there may be other suspects besides Tsarnaev and Ibragim Todashev, reported the Boston Globe.

The triple murder in Waltham left three dead, their throats severed, on Sept. 11, 2011. FBI still has named only Todashev and Tsarnaev as suspects.

Tsarnaev was killed during the Watertown shootout following the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and Todashev was killed by an FBI agent during questioning, at which he had confessed, and implicated Tsarnaev.

Healy told radio host Jim Braude that the DA’s investigation continues because others are suspected in the murder, commenting that, “As far as I know, yep. And you mentioned two, I’m not sure that it was limited to two suspects....”

In May of 2013, media reports began to erupt that tied the Tsarnaev brothers to the Waltham murder. Younger brother Dzhokhar, who has since been found guilty and sentenced to death for his role in the Boston Marathon bombings, was reported to be involved in the unsolved crime. ABC News reported, “Massachusetts investigators have developed what they call ‘mounting evidence,’ bolstered by ‘forensic hits,’ that points to the possible involvement of both Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar in a gruesome, unsolved triple homicide in 2011.’”

The murder happened in a home on a dead-end street, where the bodies of Brendan Mess, 25, of Waltham, Erik Weissman, 31, of Cambridge, and Raphael Teken, 37, of Cambridge, were found the day after the murder that was repeatedly called “grisly” and “graphic.” Marijuana and cash had been left on the bodies.

The case went cold until family and friends of the victims in Waltham began to speak up, particularly about Tamerlan, reported ABC.

During Dzhokhar’s trial, the prosecution argued that evidence that he knew of Tsarnaev’s involvement in the Waltham be permitted, reported the Globe.

The DA’s office, in a statement to the Globe, confirmed that the investigation is ongoing.
