The 26-year-old man was regularly seen at the 24-year-old woman’s family home in Rhode Island. And neighbors today spoke of their shock at waking up to see her family’s home being raided by the FBI.



One told MailOnline how the brunette converted to Islam shortly after starting college, saying she believed the couple were married.



Speaking from the quiet suburb, the neighbor said: ‘I knew she was married and she had converted to Islam.



‘She went away to college about three or four years ago and I saw her a year later and she was dressed in the Islamic style. Her hair was covered and she was wearing very baggy, flowy clothing.’

I wonder where the wife is?

[Zorra]

1. IMO, the Daily Mail is a sketchy source. nt

[snagglepuss]

4. The info is available elsewhere.

[HiPointDem]

5. why don't you link 'elsewhere, then'? for some reason i doubt the wife was wearing headscarf

& 'muslim' clothing as she was the one supporting the family. allegedly.

and in fact the daily mail article shows the alleged wife in jeans and a man's t-shirt.

7. Why would wearing a headscarf and 'muslim' (thought it says baggy, flowing) clothing be incompatible

with supporting the family? I see plenty of working Muslim women with headscarves and full-length sleeves and skirts.

[HiPointDem]

9. she's wearing jeans and a man's t-shirt in the photo, so i guess the supposed dress code didn't

take.

one neighbor says she saw her with a scarf and baggy clothes. well, that's definitive then.

14. I hate to point out the obivous, hipd

but a) we don't know if that is a pic of the supposed wife and b) if is, it could be a pic from before she converted.

this isn't exactly tough to work out.

[HiPointDem]

17. yes hon, and the entire report could be bullshit too.

where the press is concerned, almost anything 'could be,' but you chose to believe version x and slap down version y.

the person who supposedly 'doesn't believe anything she hears' about the case -- until the fundie versions start appearing, then she's all over that stuff.

[snagglepuss]

8. Why should I . I don;t have an issue with DM.

[frylock]

10. i worked with a woman that would wear a niqab to work..

not quite following you here.

[HiPointDem]

11. i don't much care

[frylock]

12. have a fucked up day

[HiPointDem]

13. ditto

[cali]

15. aw. I hope you have a fabulous day and night

[HiPointDem]

16. ditto hon

[Kelvin Mace]

2. The Daily Mail is a rag

and about as reliable as Alex Jones.

[cali]

3. terrible source and they get stuff wrong here

like claiming he was a U.S. citizen. That's his brother.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

6. There have been other reports of him being married, including from an aunt

She is no doubt in hiding or in protective custody at this point if true

[FarCenter]

18. The wife and baby are with her parents in North Kingston, RI

They have been separated and may be divorced (not that the latter matters at this point). Recall that he was arrested for domestic assault and battery. There was no conviction. Probably went into some diversion program?

[snagglepuss]

19. The report I read said the assault was on a girlfriend. They have not

separated, he spent weekends with the in-laws.

And tonight, Katherine's parents, Judith and Warren issued an emotional statement following the terror attack that left three dead and 176 injured, saying: 'Our daughter has lost her husband today, the father of her child.

'We cannot begin to comprehend how this horrible tragedy occurred. In the aftermath of the Patriot's Day horror, we know that we never really knew Tamerlane Tsarnaev

The statement was read by Mrs Russell and when asked how her daughter was getting on, she shook her head and said: 'There's nothing for me to say'.


The 26-year-old Chechen – who was shot dead by cops last night – was regularly seen at his wife's family home in Rhode Island.

20. Who Is Katherine Russell? The Woman Married To Dead Boston Bomber

first, Katherine and Tamerian were frequent visitors to Katherine’s family home. Katherine used her husband’s last name and her she appeared to be dressing more in the style of Muslim women.

But that appears to have stopped about a year ago.

“She moved back home and was living at home with the baby,” a neighbor told the MailOnline. “I never saw him again.”
