The 15, also including a current Welsh Senedd member and a former police officer, have been charged with cheating related to bets placed on the timing of the 2024 general election. They are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court at 10am this Friday to face the charges. Politics latest: China makes first statement after UK takes control of British Steel The Gambling Commission said its investigation, which began in June last year, "focused on individuals suspected of using confidential information - specifically advance knowledge of the proposed election date - to gain an unfair advantage in betting markets". It opened the investigation after former Montgomeryshire MP Craig Williams, Mr Sunak's former parliamentary private secretary, admitted placing a £100 bet on 19 May 2024 that the election would be in July. Mr Sunak announced the general election would be on 4 July, three days after Williams, who was also an election candidate, placed the bet. Williams, who was dropped as a candidate, admitted last June to placing a "flutter" on the election and said he "committed a serious error of judgement, not an offence". Current Senedd member, police officer and Tory campaign director charged Among those charged is Russell George, a Conservative member of the Welsh Senedd, who returned to the front bench in October after stepping back from his role as spokesman for mid-Wales in June. Over the weekend, the Welsh Conservatives re-selected him to be a candidate in the Senedd elections next year, but have now suspended him pending the "outcome of the justice process". Other notable people charged are former police officer Jeremy Hunt; Tony Lee, the Conservatives' former campaign director; his wife, Laura Saunders, a former Tory election candidate, as well as Nick Mason, the Conservatives' former chief data officer. Many others are, or were, also Conservative Party staff. The party has said those still working for them have been suspended. A Conservative Party spokesman said: "The Conservative Party believes that those working in politics must act with integrity. Current members of staff who have been charged are being suspended with immediate effect. "These incidents took place in May last year. Our party is now under new leadership and we are cooperating fully with the Gambling Commission to ensure that their investigation can conclude swiftly and transparently." Who are the 15 people charged? • Simon Chatfield, 51, from Farnham• Russell George, 50, from Newtown, Wales (suspended Welsh Conservative Senedd member for Montgomeryshire)• Amy Hind, 34, from Loughton, Essex• Anthony Hind, 36, from Loughton, Essex• Jeremy Hunt, 55, from Horley (a former police officer, not the ex-chancellor)• Thomas James, 38, from Brecon, Wales• Charlotte Lang, 36, from Brixton• Anthony Lee, 47, Bristol (known as Tony, former director of Conservative Party campaigning)• Iain Makepeace, 47, from Newcastle Upon Tyne• Nick Mason, 51, from Gillingham (former Conservative Party chief data officer)• Paul Place, 53, from Hammersmith, London• Laura Saunders, 37, from Bristol (Tony Lee's wife and Conservative 2024 candidate for Bristol North West who was then dropped)• James Ward, 40, from east London• Craig Williams, 39, from Llanfair Caereinion, Welshpool• Jacob Willmer, 39, from Richmond, London. Labour candidate Kevin Craig was included in the investigation after placing a bet that he would lose his bid to become an MP, but was cleared of any wrongdoing in December. Ellie Reeves, chair of the Labour Party, said: "This is a very serious development. The British people will expect that anyone found guilty of wrongdoing faces the full force of the law. "Kemi Badenoch must make crystal clear that anyone found guilty of using insider information to cheat the system to try to enrich themselves has no place in the Conservative Party. No ifs, no buts. "Labour is turning the page on 14 years of Conservative chaos and scandal and we're turning our country round through our Plan for Change. Only Labour can be trusted to deliver security for working people and the renewal Britain needs." Met Police investigation After the Gambling Commission began its investigation last June, the Metropolitan Police opened an inquiry into whether anyone had committed misconduct in public office. In August 2024, the Met said it would not be charging anyone, but several politicians and police officers remained under investigation by the Gambling Commission into whether they had broken criminal gambling laws.

A Prison Service spokesperson said John Mansfield was found dead at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire, on Sunday. Mansfield, 63, was jailed for life in 2007 for the murder of his 63-year-old neighbour Ann Alfanso. Sky News understands he was attacked by another inmate. Cambridgeshire Police said the force was called at around 4.10pm after the body of a man in his 60s was found. "A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. An investigation is ongoing," they said in a statement. It was the second major security breach on the prison estate over the weekend after the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber attacked three officers on Saturday. The Prison Officers Association (POA) said 28-year-old Hashem Abedi - the brother of Salman Abedi - threw hot cooking oil over the guards before stabbing them with "improvised knives", potentially made from a baking tray. The Ministry of Justice said it will carry out a review following the attack at HMP Frankland, County Durham. Mansfield was 45 when he was sentenced in 2007 at Manchester Crown Court to life in prison with a minimum term of 30 years for Ms Alfanso's murder. She was found dead at her home in Whalley Range, Manchester, by her carer in August 2006 after being stabbed around 20 times in the head and neck. He was handed a second life sentence in 2014 for stabbing another prisoner with a broken plate at HMP Full Sutton near York. Earlier this month, three prisoners serving life sentences at Whitemoor were handed extra jail time for an attack on a prison officer in August 2023. The high-security prison has a capacity of 458 adult male prisoners who are mostly serving long sentences.

The Prison Officers Association (POA) said 28-year-old Hashem Abedi - the brother of Salman Abedi - threw hot cooking oil over the guards before stabbing them with homemade weapons on Saturday. He was sentenced in 2020 to at least 55 years in prison after being found guilty of 22 counts of murder over the 2017 atrocity and is serving his sentence at category A Frankland prison, in County Durham. The attack is said to have happened at a separation centre, a small unit sometimes referred to as a "prison within a prison", usually used to house dangerous prisoners and those deemed a risk of radicalising other inmates. After the attack, POA national chairman Mark Fairhurst called for "cooking facilities and items that can threaten the lives of staff" to be removed immediately. It is understood that kitchen use in prison separation centres has now been suspended. The centres were introduced in 2017 in an attempt to control and contain prisoners with extreme views. A 2022 inspection found a total of nine men were then housed in the units in Franklin and HMP Woodhill, in Milton Keynes. The report said the Frankland unit is on a narrow corridor with a small "room for association" and an area for prisoners to cook and prepare food. Following the attack at Frankland, which is being investigated by counter terrorism police, Mr Fairhurst called for "change". He told Sky News' Kamali Melbourne on Sunday: "These separation centres hold the most violent and the worst threat to national security when it comes to terrorist offenders, and we're allowing them the freedoms and privileges of everybody else on normal location [in prison]." The Ministry of Justice said it will carry out a review following the attack. Hashem Abedi was found guilty by a jury of 22 counts of murder, attempted murder and plotting to cause an explosion likely to endanger life after helping his brother plan his 2017 suicide bombing. He was later found guilty, along with two other convicted terrorists, of attacking a prison officer in the high-security unit of southeast London's Belmarsh prison in 2020.

HMRC has made 17 referrals to the police watchdog (Independent Office for Police Conduct) over the suicide attempts of 14 people, up from the 13 referrals of 10 people previously known about in October 2023. The figures, revealed in response to a Freedom of Information request by Sky News, come on top of the 10 known suicides of people caught up in the controversial tax crackdown, which has alarmed MPs across the political spectrum. The loan charge was announced in George Osborne's 2016 budget and made freelancers liable for years of retrospective income and national insurance tax after being paid their salaries in loans. HMRC has been accused of harassing ordinary people who were victims of mis-selling, as the arrangement was widely promoted by lawyers, accountants and tax professionals in the 2000s and 2010s. Labour has launched an independent review into the policy but campaigners have branded it a "sham" and "cover-up" as it doesn't look at the principle of the loan charge, only ways to make people settle. 'Trapped in an endless nightmare' Father-of-three Ray Newton is one thousands of people who paid an umbrella company to manage his fees while working as an IT contractor for Barclays Bank from 2009-2010. They paid him in tax-free loans on the assurance it was "completely above board", but in 2016 he was hit with an unexpected HMRC bill of £16,000. Ray paid it off, but last year he suddenly faced demands for another £15,000 in income tax and £14,000 in interest that had been accruing the whole time without his knowledge. The "bombshell bill" also included £12,000 of inheritance tax on the loans despite them being classed as wages. "Instead of going for the tax that was avoided they are going for the jugular," said Ray, 70. The bill arrived in the post after eight years of sporadic letters from HMRC saying Ray still needed to settle but not explaining why or by how much, often ignoring him when he inquired. It nearly destroyed him. "I was literally begging - please tell me what it is I owe. It made me look as though I was a bad person… my wife actually left me and I got really in a state over this," he said. "I was having counselling, I was on antidepressant drugs, I was on sleeping pills. You know, my whole world was sort of falling apart. It was like being trapped in an endless nightmare. "I did attempt suicide but I was stopped by a member of the public." Ray is now in a better place and is back with his wife, while HMRC has recently accepted the inheritance tax isn't owed and giving him misleading or incorrect information. But he is sceptical about the review. "The government can't afford or don't want to afford the implications of a proper inquiry. This is going to be a whitewash." HMRC says it takes the wellbeing of all taxpayers seriously and is committed to identifying and supporting customers who need extra help with their tax affairs. It says it has made significant improvements to this service over the last few years.    Sky News spoke to several loan charge victims who said while they didn't dispute owing tax, HMRC's chaotic communication was making it harder to settle and move on. "The impact has been devastating" For father-of-two Stephen Bishop, the long drawn-out battle contributed to the breakdown of his marriage and led him to express suicidal thoughts. He was told to join a loan scheme by the company which hired him and has since faced demands in unpaid tax ranging from £80,000 - more than he'd earn in a year - to £20,000 while a payment plan set up in 2018 was randomly cancelled. It took many more years to reach a new settlement and after £18,000 was finally agreed upon, he was whacked with a £10,000 interest bill for the late payment. HMRC continued to contact him after he requested to go through his accountant due to his deteriorating mental health, with an inspector even showing up at his door. "I can honestly understand why so many people have taken their own lives over this. The impact has been devastating on me," he said. What is being reviewed? Since 2016, HMRC has agreed 25,000 settlements with employers and individuals over their use of loan schemes, which will raise around £4.2bn in revenue. However, over 40,000 people and 5,000 employers are yet to settle. Labour promised an "independent review" in opposition, with Treasury minister James Murray saying the loan charge had "become a nightmare for ordinary people… who are the victims of mis-selling and face financial ruin". After winning the election Mr Murray also attended a "harrowing meeting" where many loan charge victims "broke down in tears", according to Greg Smith, Tory co-chairman of the Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness all-party parliamentary group (APPG), who suggested the "partial review" was down to "wilful ignorance or the bottom line" and warned it could lead to more suicides if people continue to face financial ruin. Campaigners hoped the inquiry would look at the principle of retrospective tax legislation, the role of promoters who made profits from the schemes and HMRC's conduct. However, it will only examine the barriers facing those who have yet to settle and recommend ways for them to so do by the summer. And it is being run by former HMRC boss Ray McCann, leading some to question its independence. 'Internal stitch-up' Sir Iain Duncan Smith, former Tory leader and another long-term critic of the loan charge, called the review an "internal HMRC stitch-up… ran by an ex-HMRC honcho". He said the loan charge is a "disaster" made by the tax office for being slow to crack down on the loan schemes and the government should "draw a line under this and write the debt off". "It seems to me any MP that goes to be a minister of the Treasury gets taken prisoner by them. This should be a full-scale review where apportioning blame is part of this," Mr Duncan Smith added. Read more from Sky News:Race to keep British Steel furnaces runningNo evidence of 'two-tier policing' in summer riots, MPs say In a letter responding to concerns of the APPG, Mr Murray said it would have been "irresponsible for the government not to acknowledge the challenging fiscal circumstances that we inherited" and "that is the context in which this review takes place". He also defended Mr McCann's independence, saying the former president of the Chartered Institute for Taxation is "a highly respected figure in the tax world whose name was suggested by one of the loan charge campaigners". The government declined to comment further while the review is ongoing. Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK.

Three-year-old Rory McIlroy practising his swing in the living room of the family home. At the age of nine, he appeared on Ulster Television, chipping golf balls into a washing machine. His love of golf was nurtured by his dad Gerry, who brought baby Rory to the course in his stroller. Recognising his talent, Gerry and mum Rosie both took second jobs to fund their son's career. Read more:Rory McIlroy claims career Grand Slam with US Masters win It paid off when he won four major championships by the age of 25, having first become world number one aged 22. Then came the drought - 11 years of it - McIlroy putting himself, and us all, through the wringer. Time and time again, he came close but repeatedly buckled under the weight of expectation. Only one other player of his generation had won a career Grand Slam - Tiger Woods. Some feared he'd never write that story, that the green jacket would never reach the Green Isle. But in the hills east of Belfast, they dared to believe that their most famous son since footballer George Best would carve his place in history. For the boy from Holywood, a coastal town in County Down, it's a Hollywood ending.

Ms Siddiq told reporters outside her home that she is the "victim of a politically motivated smear campaign". Politics live: China issues first statement after UK takes control of British Steel Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) sought the warrant over allegations Ms Siddiq received a 7,200sq ft plot of land in the country's capital, Dhaka. Ms Siddiq's lawyers on Sunday told Sky News the allegations are "completely false", adding there was "no basis at all for any charges to be made against her". On Monday, Ms Siddiq said no one from the Bangladeshi authorities has contacted her and said she was facing a "trial by media". "I can't dignify this politically motivated smear campaign with any comment," she said, alleging authorities are "trying to harass me". There is "no evidence I've done anything wrong", she added. Ms Siddiq is the niece of Bangladesh's former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who was deposed last summer following an uprising against her 20-year leadership. The Labour MP resigned as a Treasury minister earlier this year following an investigation by the prime minister's ethics adviser into her links to her aunt's Awami League administration, which is facing corruption allegations in Bangladesh. Ms Siddiq was not found to have breached the ministerial code. However, the prime minister's ethics adviser Sir Laurie Magnus said it was "regrettable" she was not more "alert to the potential reputational risks" arising from her close family's association with Bangladesh. At the time, Sir Keir Starmer praised Ms Siddiq for making the "difficult decision" to resign and said "the door remains open for you" going forward. Asked if there could be a way back for her following the latest developments, the prime minister's official spokesman today said: "We don’t comment on individual legal cases." Ms Siddiq has been an MP since 2015 and is probably best known for campaigning for the release of her constituent Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, who was detained in Iran for six years. She came under pressure over her links to her aunt at the beginning of the year but has consistently denied wrongdoing. Ms Siddiq has also faced questions over properties in London she has lived in or lives in which are allegedly linked to her aunt's allies. A Conservative Party spokesman said Ms Siddiq "should immediately stand down as a Labour MP" if she is the subject of an arrest warrant in Bangladesh.

The 31-year-old British actress posted an Instagram story about the joke on US TV show Saturday Night Live (SNL), in which comedian Sarah Sherman used exaggerated prosthetic teeth to do an impression of her. In the skit, titled The White Potus, Donald Trump and his family were reimagined as The White Lotus's Ratliff family, dealing with the backlash to the US president's recently introduced tariffs. The third season of Mike White's hit hotel drama has just concluded on Sky Atlantic. While the other characters in the skit were shown in the guise of real-life political figures, Wood, who plays Chelsea in the show, was shown in character talking about a monkey. Wood, who shot to fame on Netflix's Sex Education, said she was the only character in the piece that was "punched down on". She also said a part of the parody that joked about fluoride, following recent debates in the US as to if it should be removed from the tap water, was missing the point as she has "big gap teeth not bad teeth". Wood wrote: "Yes, take the piss for sure - that's what the show is about - but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?" The Stockport-born star also flagged Sherman's poor attempt at a Mancunian accent. But Wood went on to say that she wasn't "hating" on Sherman personally, just "on the concept". Wood also flagged an online comment that said: "It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970s misogyny," adding, "This sums up my view". After sharing her opinions, Wood said she had received "thousands of messages in agreement" and so was "glad I said something". Read more from Sky News:Will Katy Perry sing in space?Upstairs, Downstairs actress dies Wood shared comments of support she had received. One, from an unnamed fan, said she too had "a big gap" in her teeth, as well as "an overbite" and that while she had been previously considering "spending thousands on fixing it," seeing Wood look "gorgeous" on The White Lotus had made her reconsider. Wood said SNL has since apologised to her. Wood previously said, during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, that the positive reception to her performance was "a real full-circle moment after being bullied for my teeth forever". NBC, which airs SNL, has been contacted for comment.

The Masters was the last major tournament left for McIlroy to complete the modern golf Grand Slam - a feat only five others have managed before him. McIlroy, who was making his 11th attempt at completing the Grand Slam, faced off against Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose in a sudden-death play-off to decide the Masters champion, after they finished tied on 11 under at the end of regulation on Sunday. 'So hard to stay patient' Speaking at a press conference after his victory, McIlroy said: "You have to be the eternal optimist in this game. "I have been saying it until I am blue in the face but I truly believe I am a better player now than 10 year ago. "It is so hard to stay patient, keep coming back and not being able to get it done. "There were points on the back nine where I thought, 'have I let this slip again?' but I responded and am really proud of myself. "It has been an emotional week so I am thrilled to be last man standing." Just before slipping on a coveted green jacket during the presentation ceremony, the Northern Irishman said: "It's my 17th time here and I started to wonder if it would ever be my time. "I'm just absolutely honoured and thrilled and just so proud to be able to call myself a Masters champion." McIlroy had missed his six-foot putt for par, a bogey which dropped him back to 11 under, where he joined Rose - leading to a dramatic playoff between the two. Only five other golfers have been able to complete a career Grand Slam - Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen. McIlroy is a two-time winner of the PGA Championship, claiming the prize in 2012 and 2014. The 35-year-old also won his first major title, the US Open, in 2011, and won the Open Championship in 2014. How did McIlroy clinch victory? McIlroy recovered from losing his overnight two-shot advantage with an opening-hole double bogey to initially take control at Augusta National, only to blow a four-shot lead over his closing six holes. The world number two bogeyed the last to close a one-over 73 and slip back to 11 under alongside Rose, who overturned a seven-stroke deficit and posted a stunning final-round 66 to force a playoff. The players returned to the 18th for the playoff, where McIlroy made amends for his 72nd-hole blunder by firing a stunning approach to within three feet of the pin and making the birdie putt required for the win. After the winning putt dropped, McIlroy raised his arms towards the sky and let his putter fall behind him as he dropped to his knees overcome with emotion. He then embraced his wife Erica and daughter Poppy as chants of "Rory! Rory!" rang out around the green. 'Great athletes under tremendous pressure' Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said the country should have "the biggest party possible" to welcome home McIlroy. Ms O'Neill added that people are "bursting with pride" at his achievement and it should be celebrated "in the best possible style". It came as Northern Ireland's sports minister, Gordon Lyons, said he is looking forward to "formally marking" McIlroy's success in the coming weeks. Ms O'Neill had earlier praised McIlroy for "making history as the first ever from our island to win the prestigious Green Jacket! "A phenomenal achievement that completes a career Grand Slam, placing him amongst the greatest ever golf players. "This is a huge moment in sporting history, and one that has filled everyone back home with great pride and that will undoubtedly inspire future generations to chase their dreams," she said on X. Northern Ireland's deputy first minister Emma Little-Pengelly said she was "absolutely delighted" for McIlroy. "This is an incredible achievement and he truly has made Northern Ireland proud of the international stage," she posted on X. "The way he held his nerve to win it and finally get the green jacket, and to complete the career Grand Slam is remarkable." Ms Little-Pengelly added that she was already looking forward to seeing McIlroy on home fairways in the summer when the Open Championship returns to Northern Ireland. "The reception when he steps onto the first tee at Royal Portrush in July will be incredible," she said. "Hopefully he can give the home fans plenty to cheer as he bids to win a second Open Championship." Irish premier Micheal Martin described the win as "epic". "The Green Jacket is yours Rory McIlroy," the Taoiseach posted on X. "A finish for the ages at Augusta to win The Masters and complete a richly-deserved career Grand Slam. Epic achievement by one of golf's greatest talents." Deputy Irish premier Simon Harris also posted his congratulations. "A first Masters and a career Grand Slam means he joins some of the very greatest to have ever played the game," he said. "A proud day for him, his family and for Ireland." Meanwhile, Ireland's President Michael D Higgins posed on X: "Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on winning The Masters and completing the career Grand Slam. A truly outstanding achievement." It comes as Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt has called for McIlroy to be knighted. Legendary golfer Tiger Woods was also among those to congratulate McIlroy, writing on X: "Welcome to the club @McIlroyRory. "Completing the grand slam at Augusta is something special. Your determination during this round, and this entire journey has shown through, and now you're a part of history. Proud of you!" US President Donald Trump, who is passionate about golf, has also praised McIlroy saying: "Well I have to congratulate Rory, that showed tremendous courage. "He was having a hard time. But it showed great guts and stamina and courage. People have no idea how tough that is. "It's better for him that it happened that way because it showed real courage to have come back from what could have been a tragedy was amazing." He added: "Justin Rose was great, they're great athletes under tremendous pressure." 'Hard to put into words' Tony Denver, who was among those watching McIlroy from his home club in Holywood, County Down, told Sky News it was "hard to put into words" how he was feeling following the play-off, as crowds in the background cheered and applauded the world's number two golf player. Mr Denver went on to say the feeling was "absolutely fantastic", adding he remembers McIlroy "from a young lad growing up and he's now one of the six players to win the Grand Slam which is just unbelievable". Ruth Watt, lady captain of Holywood golf club, said: "We are all immensely proud, absolutely delighted to be welcoming Rory back home in that green jacket. "He has put us through the wringer tonight but what an outcome." She added: "There was always something very special about the golf that he played but he is such a gentleman and such a lovely, lovely person." For the club, McIlroy's victory is just "phenomenal", she said.

James Dornan, 72, said the incident still sticks to him "like a curse". Speaking to The National newspaper, the politician said he was walking the streets of Battlefield in 1968 in the southside of Glasgow when one of his friends ran across the road and challenged two young boys. He said he then ran over and punched one of the boys, who was later hit with a weapon by one of his friends, leaving him seriously injured. His charge was later reduced to common assault and he received a £15 fine and two years' probation. The MSP for Glasgow Cathcart said he decided to open up about the ordeal 57 years later due to the release of the hit Netflix drama Adolescence. The series follows a 13-year-old boy arrested over the murder of a young girl and the impact it has on his family. Mr Dornan said he has not watched the show, explaining: "I find this quite traumatic and very difficult emotionally to look at something that triggers things that have happened in my past, having just seen the clips. "When you're a young man, you do things without thinking of the repercussions and then the repercussions just expand, and everyone is caught up in it. "I didn't want to see two actors playing a very emotional role that I could see being my mum and dad. "Stephen Graham is a magnificent actor. He acts with his heart, and I think that's why I would've found it very difficult. He reminds me of my dad."

He said: "The first bad bit was when my dad came down (to the police station) because my dad was straight as a die and this sort of thing was just awful. "I felt shame and fear. I felt shame my mum would be suffering but also that my dad was going to have to go through this and at the same time I felt fear because I had no idea what was going to happen to me. "I am now 57 years away from that incident and I still feel responsible for lots of things that have happened because of it, how people felt because of that incident. "I don't think about it all the time but one of the problems I've got is I carry guilt about with me. It sticks with you like a curse. It never leaves you." 👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 Mr Dornan praised the show's message around toxic masculinity. He said: "It astounds me that we've now created a society where big sections think the denigration of women is acceptable behaviour. "That's what I like about Adolescence. I hope it will engender the debate."

Nikita Casap, 17, from Wisconsin, was charged last month with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide following the deaths of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer. Waukesha County District Attorney Lesli Boese said Casap shot his mother at least three times - twice in the stomach and once in the neck - on 11 February, Sky News' US partner network NBC News reports. Prosecutors said the teenager killed Mr Mayer by shooting him in the back of the head the same day, according to US media reports. Casap allegedly went to school the next day and continued to live at home with the bodies until 23 February. Authorities allege he fled with $14,000 (£10,625) in cash, passports and the family dog. Ms Casap and Mr Mayer's bodies were found in a state of decay on 28 February after Mr Mayer's mother - who had not heard from him in weeks - called the sheriff's office for a welfare check. Casap was arrested the same day after running a stop sign while driving Mr Mayer's Volkswagen Atlas in WaKeeney, Kansas, 800 miles away from his Wisconsin home. The teenager, who is in custody at the Waukesha County jail in Wisconsin on a $1m bond (£757,720), is due in court next month to enter a plea. He is also facing two counts of hiding a corpse, a charge regarding theft of property over $10,000 (£7,577) and two charges of misappropriating ID to obtain money. More details about the allegations against Casap have now emerged after they were outlined in an FBI warrant which was unsealed on Friday. It states that Casap allegedly wrote a manifesto "calling for the assassination of the President of the United States". "He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States," the search warrant continues. "The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan." It is alleged Casap outlined reasons for wanting to kill Mr Trump in a three-page antisemitic manifesto praising Adolf Hitler. The warrant filed at the federal court in Milwaukee also contains excerpts of communications on TikTok and the Telegram messenger app. In court, prosecutors alleged Casap was in touch with a person who speaks Russian and shared a plan to flee to Ukraine.

Citing Casap's writings, the federal warrant says the teenager wanted to spur governmental collapse by "by getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president". Casap's public defender, Nicole Ostrowski, moved to dismiss some of the charges, including theft, against her client last month. She argued that prosecutors had not laid out their case. She has also noted her client's age during court proceedings. "He is young, he is still in high school," she said on 12 March. Meanwhile, prosecutors said in court that Ms Casap and Mr Mayer's bodies were so badly decomposed they had to be identified through dental records.
