The online messaging platform confirmed that Discord reported that approximately two hours before Robinson was arrested, he supposedly published messages to a small group of friends on the platform that said: “Hello guys, I have bad news for all of you … I went to UVU yesterday. I regret all this.”

Patel said there are “much more” than 20 people linked to Robinson in Discord, “and we are executing them to each … each.”

In its publication on Sunday, Patel said: “The entire FBI cries the loss of Charlie Kirk. We will not rest until justice is delivered, and our research on this murder will continue until each question is answered.”
Robinson was accused of numerous crimes on Tuesday, including aggravated murder, with prosecutors last week announcing his intention to seek the death penalty.
Robinson did not enter a plea on Tuesday. The judge said the Court would appoint a lawyer for him before his next appearance in court on September 29.
