The suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk is in custody and will be formally charged on Tuesday.

Tyler Robinson's arrest was revealed by Utah Governor Spencer Cox this morning.

New details have since emerged. On Thursday, Robinson's father recognised his son in pictures released by the FBI.

The 22-year-old confessed, so his father said he should hand himself in - but Tyler Robinson said he would rather kill himself.

The father called a youth pastor, who called the US Marshals, who secured him until the FBI took the suspect into custody.

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

Bullet casings were found with inscriptions, including one saying: "Hey fascist! Catch!"

Utah county attorney's office plans to formally file charges on Tuesday.
