Tsarnaev video: A new video emerged into the public on May 31 that shows the Tsarnaev brothers working out at a gym three days before the Boston Marathon bombings.

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar, suspected to be behind the bombings, are arriving at the Wai Kru mixed martial arts center with a friend just before 2:45 p.m. on April 12. Three days later, bombs went off near the end of the Boston Marathon. Tamerlan was later shot dead in a firefight with police officers and Dzhokhar has been in a hospital since being put into custody several days after the attacks.

The manager at Wai Kru, Michael, told CNN that Tamerlan’s full beard was gone when the brothers entered the gym that day. 

The surveillance video shows Tamerlan refusing to take off his shoes, in defiance of the gym’s rules, and the manager later emailed the owner asking him to ban the older brother. Tamerlan later entered the ring with his brother, and both appeared relaxed.
