US federal prosecutors are preparing charges against the surviving Boston Marathon bomb suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as more details emerge of his capture.



If he is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, he could face the death penalty.



Tsarnaev is in hospital, unable to speak because of a wound to the throat.



The suspect was captured on Friday evening after a huge manhunt during which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's elder brother and suspected fellow bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died.
