Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk, an officially charged crime. The prosecutors demand the death penalty

Prosecutors in Utah announced on Tuesday that they will request the death sentence for the suspect in the assassination of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk and presented some of the evidence against him, including alleged text messages in which he recognized the deed, according to Reuters.

“I was tired of the hatred he propagates,” Tyler Robinson, 22, told his colleague and his partner, when asked why he committed the crime, according to the transcripts of the messages submitted by prosecutors on the file.

The district prosecutor of Utah County, Jeffrey Gray, said in a press conference that his office made seven charges against Robinson, including a qualified murder, obstructing justice to destroy evidence and influence witnesses, after asking his colleague to delete him.

Gray said he decided to ask for the death penalty “independently, based on the available evidence, circumstances and crime nature.” Certain politicians, including US President Donald Trump, also asked for capital punishment in this case.

On the day of the attack, Robinson sent a message to his room colleague, according to the indictment, telling him to look for a ticket hidden under his keyboard. The colleague, described by the authorities and as a romantic partner of Robinson and in gender transition, found the ticket, which he wrote: “I had the opportunity to eliminate Charlie Kirk and I will.”

Suspect's messages with his roommate, made public

“Didn't you do this, right?” the colleague asked. “I did it, I'm sorry,” Robinson replied.

When he was asked why he shot Kirk, Robinson wrote: “I'm tired of the hatred he propagates. Some forms of hatred cannot be negotiated.”

He also said that he had planned the attack for more than a week, prosecutors said.

In other subsequent messages, Robinson said he regretted not returning to recover the weapon he had hidden in a bush immediately after the crime.

“I may have to abandon it and hope they will not find fingerprints,” he wrote.

Robinson surrendered on Thursday, one day after the attack, after his parents recognized the images with the attacker and confronted him, according to the documents submitted in court. He let himself understand that he wanted to take his life, but his parents convinced him to meet them at home, where Robinson acknowledged that he was the author of the crime.

Finally, Robinson decided to surrender to the police after, at the parents' insistence, he spoke with a family friend, a former sheriff, the prosecutors said.

“I am more worried for you,” Robinson wrote to the roommate after telling him that he decided to surrender. At the same time, when urged to delete the messages and refuse to talk to the police or the press.

The room colleague, who was not identified in the judicial documents, cooperates with the authorities, officials said.

Robinson's mother told police that, in the last year, her son has become closer to the political left and more “gay and trans-right, according to the indictment. The relationship with the roommate also led to “discussions” with relatives, including his father, who has “very different political visions”, the document shows.

Prosecutors added aggravating factors to the charges of crime and use of the weapon, on the grounds that Robinson would have targeted Kirk on political criteria and knew that the children would be witnesses, said Jeffrey Gray. According to the law of the state, only the qualified murder can attract the death penalty.

Charlie Kirk, co -founder and leader of the Turning USA conservative student movement and an important ally of Donald Trump, was 31 years old and was at an event with 3,000 participants when he was shot.

The crime has disturbed the American public opinion, against the background of intensifying political violence in recent years, including two attempts to assassinate last year and killing a Democratic parliamentary in Minnesota, along with many other high -profile cases.

About two -thirds of Americans believe that the hard discourse is increasingly common in politics, according to a Reuters/I plaster survey conducted on the days after Kirk's killing.
