US prosecutors will search the demise penalty for Luigi Mangione, the person accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
US Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi mentioned in an announcement on Tuesday that she had directed federal prosecutors to hunt the penalty for the “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination”.
Mr Thompson was shot lifeless outdoors a lodge in New York on 4 December. Police arrested Mr Mangione, 26, weeks later in Pennsylvania after a nationwide manhunt.
He has pleaded not responsible and is awaiting trial in a New York federal jail.
