Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the teenage suspect in custody for the Boston marathon bombings, liked to post homophobic jokes on Twitter.

19 year-old Tsarnaev was captured Friday evening (19 April) after he and his older brother were identified as suspects in the bombing of the Boston Marathon that left 183 people injured and three people dead.

The suspect’s older brother, 26 year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot dead by police after the two suspects led authorities on a violent chase.

The teenager, whose Twitter account has been confirmed as @j_tsar, was sending tweets just hours and up to a day after the bombings.

A review of Tsarnaev’s Twitter account shows posts about hip-hop music, homework, and anti-gay jokes.

One tweet read: ‘Oh, you’re gay? That must be a real pain in the ass.’

Another post: ‘If you were sleeping between a beautiful girl and a gay man, whose side would you turn your back to?’

He also posted: ‘In a Grammar class : Teacher:- “HE does not like girls.” What is ‘He’ in this sentence. . ?? . . . . . Student :- Gay. . . . !!’

The last post on Tsarnaev’s account comes one day after the bombings. The re-tweet from Muslim scholar Mufti Ismail Menk reads: ‘Attitude can take away your beauty no matter how good looking you are or it could enhance your beauty, making you adorable.’

Tsarnaev is currently in custody in serious condition from gunshot wounds
