Watch: Roommate says Charlie Kirk murder suspect confessed to killing

"Devastating" evidence, including DNA on a rifle and a text confession, shows a 23-year-old should be tried for murdering Charlie Kirk last year, prosecutors told a court this week, as the defence team tried to poke holes in the case.

The preliminary hearings gave prosecutors a chance to outline probable cause to try Tyler Robinson, 23, on charges including aggravated murder, a death penalty offence in Utah.

They painted a vivid picture of his movements in the 48 hours surrounding the murder of Kirk - using CCTV, witness testimony, a taped interview with Robinson's roommate and messages between the pair.
