PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A lawyer for the wife of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev says federal authorities have asked to speak with his client.

Authorities went to the suburban Rhode Island home of Tsarnaev’s in-laws Sunday evening, where Katherine Russell Tsarnaev has been staying. Lawyer Amato DeLuca tells The Associated Press that she did not speak with them, and they are discussing how to proceed.

DeLuca says Tsarnaev did not suspect her husband of anything, and nothing seemed amiss after the bombings. He says she had been working 70 to 80 hours a week as a home health care aide, while her husband cared for their daughter.

DeLuca says on the day he died, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was home when his wife left for work. He says the couple married in 2009 or 2010.

Totally shocking

3. They are implicated but still I'd think they'd also make a statement like the uncle

of how ashamed and distressed they are about the victims. Their victimization by this man is not the issue, it's what he did to others and how this woman did not do all she could to prevent the horrors of her husband.

She had to know something, he saw her the day he died?

7. Why did she have to know something?

If he had become as radicalized as many believe, what makes you think he told his wife more then he thought she needed to know?

I saw my wife the day she died, and had no idea that she was going to commit suicide and we had been married for 14 years!

8. Especially where he is a devout Muslim

I doubt he saw marriage as an equal partnership.

12. they did

The family issued a statement. Apparently it only appeared in the Rhode Island papers. I'll give the news media a little credit for not hounding them completely, although there are reporters outside their house.

10. If she's not a criminal suspect or under arrest, yeah they kind of have to

request rather than taking her to the Comissar's office in the dead of night.
