The aunt of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects admitted to the press that she has received unspecified threats since Friday, the same day her nephew Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found seriously injured with a gunshot wound to his throat.

Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are suspected of planting two bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, which killed three people and injured over 140 others. Tamerlan was killed April 18 while partaking with his brother in a shootout with police. Dzhokhar fled the scene but was captured by authorities on April 19 with serious injuries.

Their aunt, Maret Tsarnaev, said on Saturday about the threats received, "They are calling us, calling names, threatening, saying it's time to go home."

"Yes, it is time. We did not find that promise -- democracy -- in this country," she added, according to the Toronto Sun. "But if I go home, I will go home only with bodies of my nephews.

In her statement Maret continuously referred to "they," saying "They made our boys enemies of the American nation. They made them victims of the conspiracy." She added that "they" needed someone to blame for something "they committed themselves."

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's father, Anzor Tsarnaev, also believes his sons are innocent. He told The Associated Press in a phone interview conducted from the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, "They were set up, they were set up!"

He also called Dzhokhar "a true angel."

Dzhokhar is being held at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is listed in serious but stable condition as of Sunday. The 19-year-old faces a gunshot wound to his throat and is unable to talk. He is responding to questions from authorities by writing down his answers. He is responding to questions about the possibility of additional unexploded bombs and about other terrorist cell members, according to ABC News
