On 15 April 2013, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev set off two bombs at the Boston Marathon and killed three people.
After the attack they disappeared, only to resurface three days later in the quiet city of Watertown, Massachusetts.
The local police force were dispatched to catch the terrorists. An eight-minute gun fight followed, and pressure cooker bombs were hurled down the street at officers. Watertown’s chief of police, Edward Deveau, was in charge of detaining the brothers.
Ten years later, he speaks to Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty.
