- Tyler Robinson, 22, has briefly appeared virtually in court to face charges of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10 at Utah Valley University in the United States.
- Judge Tony Graf read to Robinson the seven charges he is facing and told him that he is being given a court-appointed lawyer as he is deemed indigent.
- After a brief hearing, Graf said the next hearing would be held on September 29 at 10am local time (16:00 GMT).
- Prosecutors filed an intent to seek the death penalty, citing aggravating factors in the case.
- The US military is taking swift disciplinary action against soldiers over social media posts about Kirk’s assassination, carrying out a “zero-tolerance” policy towards those it sees as cheering his death, officials said.
