CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione charged with murder

It was a private funeral after the most public of deaths – the family of Brian Thompson, the CEO of one of America’s biggest health insurers, said their farewells in Minnesota yesterday, with armed officers stationed outside.

After a week in which his death became a lightning rod for many Americans’ frustration with their healthcare – and his suspected killer became a cult hero for some on the internet – a 26-year-old man is now in custody and charged with murder.
