Hindustan TimesNEW YORK — The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was whisked back to New York by helicopter Thursday to face new federal charges of murder and stalking, escalating the case after his earlier indictment on state charges. Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing faces new federal murder charges with his return to New York Luigi Mangione agreed to go return to New York after a morning court appearance in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested last week after five days on the run. Mangione could face life in prison without parole if convicted on the New York state charges, which include murder as an act of terrorism. Mangione, who initially fought attempts to extradite him, made two brief court appearances Thursday, first waiving a preliminary hearing on forgery and firearms charges before agreeing to be sent back to New York.
