An Ivy League graduate is charged over Brian Thompson’s murder
He appears to be an unusual sort of radical
It took five days, but after a feverish manhunt spurred by the murder of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare who was gunned down in Manhattan, on December 9th police arrested Luigi Mangione and charged him with murder. The 26-year-old was discovered in Altoona, Pennsylvania, a city of 44,000 people about a five-hour drive from New York. According to Joseph Kenny, the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives, he was found carrying a silencer, a gun and several fake ID cards. Among those was one from New Jersey that had been presented earlier at a New York hostel by a man identified by police as a suspect in Mr Thompson’s killing.
