BOSTON's Police Commissioner said releasing photos was a turning point for the manhunt, as the wait to interview a suspect continues.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis has told the Boston Globe today that releasing the photos of the two suspects in the Marathon bombing "may have led to the further attack" against MIT police officer Sean Collier.
He said it "was a turning point in the investigation, no doubt about it".
"It forced them out of their hideout and they decided to commit further violent acts."
His comments come as residents of Watertown, Boston, have gathered to pay tribute to the the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, after they were forced in to lockdown mode until the manhunt was over.
Investigators have also examined the boat where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was hiding and shot multiple times before he was taken into police custody.
They have also searched the house of their sister, Alina, Tsarnaev, who lives in the US.
The FBI have seized a computer from her home and he is cooperating with police.
Dr David Schoenfeld said his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds when he arrived at the hospital that it isn't clear which ones killed him, and a medical examiner will have to determine the cause of death.
These details have emerged as armed guards are protecting the hospital where Tsarnaev, the wounded surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect, is in a serious condition and unable to be questioned.

Tsarnaev was being held under heavy guard at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, where victims were also being treated after two blasts tore through crowds at the finish line of Monday's race.
It is believed more than a dozen victims of the bombing are at the same hospital.
Their motives for committing such a crime are still unknown.
Late Friday the FBI confirmed it had investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago. The FBI said it received information from "a foreign government" that he was a follower of radical Islam and had changed drastically in 2010 as he prepared to travel overseas to join "unspecified underground groups".

"The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011," the FBI said in a written statement.
The police now plan to question Dzhokhar Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights - the statement read by police to suspects stating their right to remain silent and have a lawyer. Authorities were invoking a rare public safety exception triggered by the need to protect police and the public from immediate danger.

The capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lifted days of anxiety for Boston and Americans everywhere. Monday afternoon's horrific twin backpack blasts during the marathon shocked the US.
Just eight words helped the FBI close in on the identities of the Boston bombers, thanks to the help of hero runner Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs in the blast.
The teenage suspect attended a party two nights after the deadly bombing, according to reports in the Boston Globe and on Fox News.
"He was just relaxed," said a student from Umass Dartmouth who saw Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, mingling with friends from intramural soccer.
Then, four days after the bombing, at 8.45pm on Friday evening, US time, the fugitive was cornered inside a boat in a backyard.
After a two-hour standoff, Dzhokhar was rendered helpless by bullets and stun grenades as police, who had shut down 20 blocks in the area, pinned him down.

His elder brother Tamerlan had already been killed after a shoot-out with police.
The two fugitives threw improvised explosive devices from a stolen car at pursuing officers. The brothers hurled a pressure cooker bomb, like one used in the marathon attack, Watertown's police chief Edward Devau told CNN.
Police chief Devau said two off-duty police were helping four officers who confronted the brothers in the overnight shootout.
"We estimate that over 200 shots were fired over a five-to-10 minute period," he said.
Two homemade grenades exploded and two others failed to go off. Another device was found in an abandoned car, he said.

He said Tamerlan suddenly emerged "and just starts walking down the street shooting at our police officers trying to get closer."
When he ran out of ammunition, two or three police overpowered him and were trying to handcuff him when the other brother drove the carjacked black Mercedes at them, said the police chief.
"One of them yells 'look out," he said. "They dive out of the way and he runs over his brother and drags him a short distance down the street."
Doctors officially pronounced Tamerlan dead at the hospital where his brother is now being treated.
Dzhokhar drove off amid more gunfire, but two or three streets down, "he dumps the car and runs into the darkness in the streets. Then we lost contact with him," he said.
The photo identities of the two, who proclaimed themselves as Muslim ethnic Chechens from southern Russia, were first made public at 5pm on Thursday, when the FBI released a series of stills and moving images that showed them carrying backpacks through the marathon crowd.

After that, as the suspects names began to circulate, events moved rapidly as the pair became desperate.
Just after 10pm, on the same day, they allegedly attempted to rob a 7-Eleven store in Kendell Square, near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Then came reports of shots being fired on the campus, which led 26-year-old MIT police officer, Sean Collier, to investigate at around 10.20pm.
Officer Collier was gunned down inside his vehicle, dying of multiple wounds.
The brothers then allegedly carjacked a Mercedes SUV and kept the occupant hostage for several hours before ditching him unharmed.
As Bostonians were warned to stay inside their homes and answer the door to no person, it wasn't till the following morning when the brothers re-emerged in Watertown, and engaged police with homemade IEDS in the wild pursuit in which Tamerlan who in the FBI images was wearing the black cap was killed.
Dzhokhar, who ditched the stolen car, then moved on foot through Watertown, sparking terror in the suburbs as the police dragnet closed throughout the day.

By evening, residents reported hearing a series of explosions and gunshots. Shortly after 8.45pm, Watertown fell silent. An official tweeted these words to a reporter: "alive, conscious, captured", signalling the siege was at an end.
"We got him," tweeted Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.

Attempts to negotiate with him failed as he was ''not communicating,'' one official said.
A hostage negotiator was called in and shortly after the man was arrested. He was taken to Mount Auburn Hospital in Watertown by ambulance in a serious condition.
He was later transferred to the Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston.

Hundreds of people later descended into the streets of Boston to celebrate, chanting: ''USA! USA!''
Dozens of people at a police barricade cheered and applauded as law enforcement officers and emergency responders left the scene.
Boston Police tweeted: ''CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.''
In another, Boston Police tweet: ''In our time of rejoicing, let us not forget the families of Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu, Krystle Campbell and Officer Sean Collier.''
"It's a night where I think we're all going to rest easy," said Governor Deval Patrick at a news conference in Watertown, shortly after Dzhokhar's arrest, which brought locals pouring from their homes to celebrate what President Barack Obama said was the close of "an important chapter in this tragedy".

But he said there are still many unanswered questions about the bombings, including whether the two men had help from others.
''We will determine what happened. We will investigate any associations that these terrorists may have had. And we'll continue to do whatever we have to do to keep our people safe,'' the President said.
Onlookers erupted in applause and cheers as police vehicles slowly drove away - with some officers punching the air and cheering.
On earlier learning of the death of his oldest son, the Associated Press reported Anzor Tsarnaev, speaking from southern Russian republic of Dagestan, describing Tamerlan as "a true angel".
"They were set up, they were set up!" he told the reporter. "I saw it on television; they killed my older son Tamerlan." He told another news outlet his sons were: "Muslim, but not radical Muslim".
The brothers' mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, also speaking from Russia, said she too believed her sons were innocent and had been framed.

Tamerlan had been under FBI surveillance for three to five years, she said.
"They knew what my son was doing, they knew what sites on the Internet he was going to," she said.
She suggested FBI officers had visited her home when she still lived in the United States and told her that Tamerlan "was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him."
"It is really, really a hard thing to hear. And being a mother, what I can say is that I am really sure, I am, like, 100 percent sure, that this is a set-up," she said.
Before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured, his uncle Ruslan Tsarni, held a press conference at his home in Maryland, in which he dismissed notions his nephews, who arrived in the US from southern Russia a decade ago, had any true understanding of Islam or the Chechen struggle to create a separate Muslim state.
"It has nothing to do with Islam, not the way my brother raised them. It has to do with them being losers," said Ruslan, who asked America's forgiveness for his nephews.

He said the brothers, who left Russia when they were 15 and eight respectively, were never able to feel at home in the US and "thereby just hating everyone who did". He said the bombs had nothing to do with Chechnya, but also admitted he hadn't seen his nephews for eight years.
The New York Times reported the brothers' father as saying Dzhokhar was naturalised in 2012, though Tamerlan was having trouble getting citizenship because of a domestic violence complaint.
"Because of his girlfriend, he hit her lightly, he was locked up for half an hour. There was jealousy there," Anzor Tsarnaev told the newspaper, which also reported Tamerlan was questioned by the FBI in 2011, at the request of a foreign government concerned about his extremist ties.
For William Campbell, whose sister Krystle was one of the three killed by Monday's bombs, the killing and the arrest was bittersweet. He told the Boston Globe: "I'm happy that nobody else is going to get hurt by these guys, but it's not going to bring her back."
The boys' father has said that the reason the family fled Chechnya was to escape the brutality of the crackdown. He went home a year ago, believing life had become safe for him, and wanted his sons to come home with him.
Instead, they brought the war, a war they knew little about, to the country that gave them sanctuary.
