Cold-hearted: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, tweeted hours after the Boston Marathon attacks, joking about the fate of the victims
The surviving suspect accused of the Boston Marathon bombings tweeted in the aftermath of the terrorist attack, joking about the fate of victims of the explosions.
Dzhokhar 'Jahar' Tsarnaev, 19, took to the social media website and engaged in banter with a friend making light of the deadly explosions that killed three and injured more than 260.
In one of his many tweets, the college sophomore wrote, 'Lol those people are cooked' likely in reference to a since deleted conversation about the events unfolding in Boston.
Dzhokhar and his brother Tamerlan, who is now deceased, have been accused of planting two bombs in the crowd of the race in Boston on April 15, that exploded at 2:49pm.
Less than three hours the attack, Dzhokhar took to Twitter to post a message on 5:05pm that Monday that echoed the sentiment felt most Bostonians, 'Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people.'
But just a few hours later he began an exchange with a friend, with the Twitter handle @MelloChamp, in which the 19-year-old presumably began referencing the bombings with a callous tone.
It has been difficult to ascertain the nature of the conversation as @MelloChamp has since deleted his profile on the micro blogging website, as have many of the other users linked to the suspect's account.

Mixed messages: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, took to Twitter just hours about the attacks. His first message responded with compassion but hours later his tone had changed
'What's new with them?' Dzhokhar posted at 8:11pm.
The friend is believed to have responded to his message and the suspect wrote back a few minutes later.
'And they what "god hates dead people?" Or victims of tragedies? Lol those people are cooked,' at 8:13pm.
Then more than an hour later at 9:34pm he wrote, 'There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority.'
His Twitter activity also included following the messages posted by others.
On that Monday, he favorited a tweet, 'The sad part about the events in Boston today, is that some bs Hollywood director is gonna try n make a movie n profit from tragic evens smh,' that was posted by a Cambridge area resident, identified on Twitter as 2Explicit (@ballholic34).
When that user was asked about why his message would have caught the attention of Dzhokhar, he responded on April 19, 'I have no insight it was just a tweet.'

Shocking: College friends say they spotted Dzhokhar around campus at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he was a sophomore, just a day after the deadly marathon bombings
Dzhokhar's Twitter activity became sporadic on Tuesday, as friends say they saw him around campus and even working out at the gym.
The last tweet he wrote was on Tuesday at 10:43pm, 'I'm a stress free kind of guy.'
After Dzhokhar and his brother allegedly carried out the attacks, the two seemed to slip back into their normal routine
Dzhokhar talked to multiple college friends about the Boston Marathon attack just a day after he allegedly planted the explosives.
'Yeah, man tragedies can happen anywhere in the world. It's too bad,' he told one friend at the gym on the campus of the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, according to a CNN report last week.
The student, who was not named, told the cable network that 19-year-old Dzhokhar seemed 'tired' but otherwise 'fine.'
Another student reported similar behavior from the suspect.
Fellow Dartmouth student Andrew Glasby said that Dzhokhar lived one floor above him at the campus’s Pine Dale dormitory.

Glasby said he spoke with the bombing suspect on the campus 24 hours after the marathon explosions became a national terror and was surprised by Dzhokhar’s calmness in hindsight.
'I can't believe he had the balls to come back and act like nothing happened,' Glasby said.
Sophomore Zach Bettencourt recalled Dzhokhar telling him on Tuesday evening: 'It's crazy this is happening now. This is so easy to do. These tragedies happen all the time in Afghanistan and Iraq.'
College friends also reported that Dzhokhar was seen out at a college party on Wednesday night, one day before he and his brother allegedly shot dead a MIT campus police officer, hijacked a car and were then intercepted by police in a gun battle early on April 19.
As pictures of the suspects, released by the FBI, flashed onto a television screen being watched by a group of students at Dzhokhar's dorm, Pine Dale Hall, Bettencourt said he and friends were stunned to realize one of the wanted men might be Dzhokhar.
'We all thought it looked like him,' said Bettencourt, 20, of Gloucester, Massachusetts. 'We didn't believe it was him.'
Authorities began to narrow in on the brothers on April 18, when surveillance video of the suspects was released and officials pleaded with the public to come forward to identify them.
On Thursday night, the pair shot dead a MIT police officer and then proceeded to hijack a Mercedes SUV.
The brothers were tracked and intercepted by police in a quiet neighborhood in the Boston suburb of Watertown, Mass.
A ferocious gunbattle ensued, killing the older brother Tamerlan, 26, but 19-year-old Dzhokhar managed to escape.
The entire city of Boston was on lock down on April 19 while police frantically searched for Dzhokhar.
He was found that Friday evening, hiding under a tarp in a boat in the backyard of a home in Watertown.
The suspect was initially hospitalized for his injuries but was later transported to The Federal Medical Center, Devens, a federal prison.
Dzhokhar faces multiple charges including using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death and malicious destruction of property resulting in death, in connection to the bombings.
