The FBI and law enforcement officials are giving a news conference on the hunt for Charlie Kirk's killer.

The FBI and law enforcement officials have given a news conference on the hunt for Charlie Kirk's killer, naming the suspect as Tyler Robinson.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said: "We got him", and said a "family member" was involved in turning him in.

Earlier, sources said Robinson confessed to his father.

Cox said a family member reported that Robinson had become "more political" in recent years, and said he "didn't like" Kirk.

Cox continued and said the family member recalled a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner before 10 September and mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University, and talked about why he "didn't like him and the viewpoints he had".

Robinson had told a family member that "Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate", according to Cox.

Bullet and casings were found with inscriptions, Cox says - one said "Hey fascist, catch".

Cox thanked Robinson's family for "doing the right thing".

Cox said that investigators inteviewed Robinson's roommate, who showed them messages between him and an account with the name "Tyler" on the messaging app Discord.

The messages from "Tyler" stated the need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving it in a bush, watching an area where the rifle was left and having left the weapon wrapped in a towel, Cox said.

"Tyler" also mentioned that he had changed outfits in the messages, Cox added.

Cox said investigators reviewed video footage, and identified Robinson arriving in a Dodge Challenger vehicle at approximately 08:29 local time on 10 September.

When encountered in person by investigators on 12 September, he was observed in clothing consistent to that in the footage, including a "plain maroon t-shirt, light-coloured shorts, a black hat with a white logo and light-coloured shoes".
