Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev took bullet to the face, doctor says
THE surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect suffered multiple gunshot wounds including one to the face, a skull fracture, and various other injuries when he was captured hiding in a boat in a backyard, according to a doctor who treated him.
The injuries were described by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre's Dr Stephen Ray Odom in an April legal proceeding at the hospital three days after the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsaaev.
Transcripts of the testimony were unsealed this week.
The Boston Globe reports that Dr Odon described the most severe injury as a gunshot to the face that "appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face".
Tsaaev has pleaded not guilty to the April 15 bombing.
