Prosecutors claim that Charlie Kirk confessed to his roommate in a covert note.

Prosecutors have brought seven accusations against the man who is suspected of shooting Charlie Kirk, claiming that he confessed to the murder in a message to his roommate.

According to Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson left a message for his roommate to find behind a keyboard. He went on to say that the defendant’s love relationship was the roommate. At the Utah County Jail, the suspect is being detained in a special housing section without being granted bond. Prosecutors read the seven allegations against him during his remote first court appearance on Tuesday.

The allegations include two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, aggravated murder, felony discharge of a handgun, and conducting a violent crime in the presence of children.

At a news conference on Tuesday, the prosecutor revealed a wealth of evidence, including the defendant’s alleged confession and DNA found on the trigger of the rifle suspected of being used in the crime.

They also stated that they would pursue the death penalty in connection with the shooting of Kirk, who was killed by a single gunshot fired from a rooftop as he was speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The defendant was apprehended last week following a 33-hour manhunt and has not entered a plea or confessed to police but is innocent until proven guilty.

Describing the alleged hidden note at a news conference earlier on Tuesday, Mr Gray said the defendant had sent a text message to his roommate reading: “Drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.”

After reading the apparent confession, the roommate, who has not been named and is co-operating with investigators, replied: “What?????????????? You’re joking, right????”

“‘I had enough of his hatred,'” Mr Gray cited the messages as saying. “‘Some hate can’t be negotiated out.'”

The defendant also allegedly wrote: “To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”

The roommate replied: “you weren’t the one who did it right????”

The defendant replied: “I am, I’m sorry.”
