Washington (US), 6 July (LaPresse) – Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk, appeared in court in Provo, Utah, for the start of a preliminary hearing set to last several days. During the hearing, the prosecution will present some of the evidence gathered, including a video statement from Robinson’s former flatmate, a key witness in the trial. The flatmate, described in court documents as Robinson’s partner, is expected to shed light on the messages the pair allegedly exchanged following the fatal shooting last September, including what investigators believe to be a confession by Robinson. Kirk’s parents and his widow, Erika Kirk, will attend this week’s hearing, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN.
