In USA, a 17 year old teen has been charge with killing of his parents as part of a grand scheme to assassinate President Donald Trump and topple the U.S. government, according to federal authorities. Nikita Casap has been charged by Waukesha County authorities with the murder of his mother and stepfather at their Wisconsin home in February. The alleged motive was to "obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary" to carry out his plot against President Trump and the American government. A press release from the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department revealed that Donald Mayer, 51, Nikita's stepfather, and Tatiana Casap, 35, Nikita's mother, were found dead at their home on March 1.
Casap was arrested and faced two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of concealing a corpse. He also faces charges of theft of property over £7600 ($10,000) and misappropriating ID to obtain money.Investigators stated in the federal affidavit: "He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United 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,". "Other parties, with whom Casap was in contact, appear to have been aware of his plan and action and to have provided assistance to Casap in carrying them out," the document read. An excerpt from a three-page document found by the FBI reads, "As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos." The document also contained images of Adolf Hitler along with the text- "HAIL HITLER, HAIL THE WHITE RACE, HAIL VICTORY." One of the other documents also refers to his justification for violence as a way to "save the white races from Jewish-controlled politicians".
Nikita Casap faces nine felony charges in Waukesha County, including two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of hiding a corpse, identity theft and theft of property over USD 10,000 (approx Rs 8.6 lakh). He is also under federal investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the president and the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. He was initially arrested in Kansas by the WaKeeney Police Department after allegedly stealing his stepfather’s SUV and possessing a firearm.Nikita Casap appeared in court for a preliminary hearing on April 9 and remains in custody on a USD 1 million bond (approx Rs 8.6 crore). He is scheduled to return to court where charges against him will be read on May 7.
