Teen charged in parents' murder linked to extremist plot
Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old resident of Wisconsin, has been charged with the murder of his parents. It appears he did this so they wouldn't interfere with his plans. Casap reportedly wanted to assassinate Donald Trump and "save the white race," according to the FBI's findings.
Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old resident of Wisconsin, has been charged with the murder of his mother and stepfather, 35-year-old Tatiana and 51-year-old Donald. According to court documents, he allegedly committed these acts to obtain the financial resources and autonomy necessary for an attack on President Donald Trump and to overthrow the U.S. government, as reported by ABC News. Casap was arrested in March and charged with first-degree murder and concealing corpses.
Investigators discovered that Casap had ties to an extremist group that promotes neo-Nazi views. The portal adds that materials related to this organization were found on his phone.
The case involves the Order of Nine Angles, a group that the FBI has identified as seeking the destruction of civilisation. Casap reportedly received a message from an unidentified member of the group, claiming that targeting the president, and potentially the vice president as well, would undoubtedly plunge the country into chaos. Nikita was questioned about whether he was of legal age. Fearing that his phone might be seized if the plot came to light, the 17-year-old chose to take the most extreme step.
The FBI analyzed documents allegedly written by Casap, calling for an attack on Trump and initiating a revolution to "save the white race". The 17-year-old reportedly possessed an image of Hitler and planned to flee to Ukraine after the potential assassination. He allegedly revealed his plans to kill his parents to one of his friends.
He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the Unites States. And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack - cites ABC News from a Federal Bureau of Investigation statement.
Casap was in contact with others who were aware of his plans and assisted him in carrying them out. The 17-year-old remains in custody, and his next hearing is scheduled for May 7th at 10:00 AM ET.
