Still seeking motives

AUTHORITIES in the United States were yesterday still trying to learn more about what motivated last week's fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college in Utah, as the conservative political activist’s family plan a memorial this week to his life and legacy.

Tyler Robinson, 22, of Washington, Utah, has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and other felony offences. Prosecutors are drawing up formal charges that could be filed early this week, when he will make his first court appearance.

Investigators have spoken to Robinson’s relatives and carried out a search of his family’s home in the town of Washington, about 240 miles southwest of Utah Valley University, in the city of Orem, where the shooting took place.
