He, along with Erik Weissman, 31, and Raphael Tenken, 37, both of Cambridge, also had their throats slit and were covered in marijuana.
Raphael Teken, 37, of Cambridge, was also found murdered.
Erik Weissman, 31, of Cambridge, was the third victim in the murder. Police said that a knife or an ice pick was used with such force that the three victims were nearly decapitated.
Middlesex County officials initially believed the deaths to be drug related, but turned their eyes to the Tsarnaev brothers following the April 15 marathon bombings after former acquaintences of Tamerlan said he acted suspicious after the murders
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was secretly buried this week in a small Muslim cemetery in Doswell, Va., outside of Richmond.
Authorities in Massachusetts developed "mounting evidence" against Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, left, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, that would place them at the scene of a brutal triple-murder in nearby Waltham on Sept. 11, 2011.
