Grin killer of New York: police find manifesto
The suspected murderer in the case of the head of the US insurer United Healthcare was arrested on Monday. According to the police, Luigi Mangione (26) was carrying a gun with a silencer of the same type as the murder weapon. Investigators also found a violent manifesto on him.
Mangione, who had fake IDs with him as well as the gun, has since been charged with murder in Manhattan, US media reported. In a handwritten document found on his person, he accuses insurance companies of greed and threatens violence: "These parasites deserve it. (...) It had to be done."
Suspect remains silent on allegations
In Blair County, Pennsylvania, he was also charged with illegal possession of weapons, among other things. He was denied release on bail. The 26-year-old was transferred to a detention center that very night. He has so far remained silent about the charges.
Employee at McDonald's recognized the man
The man was discovered in a fast food restaurant in the city of Altoona in the US state of Pennsylvania, around five hours' drive from the metropolis of New York, according to investigators. An employee of the fast-food restaurant recognized him from mugshots and notified the police.
Since Wednesday, the authorities have been searching for a man who gunned down Brian Thompson, the head of the billion-dollar US insurer United Healthcare, near New York's Times Square. The 50-year-old died of his injuries in hospital. United Health, the parent company of United Healthcare, did not wish to comment on the current events.
Following the arrest, the 26-year-old's family said on social media that they were "shocked and devastated". According to the US media, a statement from a lawyer was not initially available.
