THE eight-year-old boy who has been killed in the Boston Marathon bombings is being remembered in his neighbourhood, where he loved to climb the trees.
Martin Richard, from Dorchester, a neighbourhood of Boston, was among the three people killed in Monday's blasts metres from the marathon finish line, as he waited for his father to cross it.
A candle has been reportedly placed on the stoop of his family's home, while the word "Peace" has been written in chalk on the front walkway.
Betty Delorey, who lives nearby to Martin's family home, told reporters Martin loved to climb the neighbourhood trees and hop the fence outside his home.
His father, Bill, is the director of a local community group, while his mother Denise works at the Neighbourhood House Charter School.
She and Martin's sister were also injured as they waited at the finish line.
Counter-terrorism expert Richard Barrett said the incident had hints of a right-wing attack rather than al-Qaeda-inspired extremism.
Mr Barrett, the former United Nations co-ordinator for the al-Qaeda and Taliban monitoring team, said it was too early to say who was to blame for the marathon blasts.
But Mr Barrett, who has served with MI5 and MI6, said the timing on Patriots' Day and the relatively small size of the devices suggested the work of a domestic extremist.
"This happened on Patriots' Day, it is also the day Americans are supposed to have their taxes in, and Boston is quite a symbolic city," he said.
The Pakistani Taliban, which has threatened attacks in the US because of its support for the Pakistani government, denied any role in the bombings.
Police searched a flat in the Boston suburb of Revere as part of the investigation.
Hospitals reported at least 144 people injured, at least 17 of them critically.
