Luigi Mangione appeared at an extradition hearing in Pennsylvania. His lawyer said the 26-year-old would contest being moved to New York to face murder charges.

"He's pleading not guilty to those offences," the lawyer said. "I haven't seen any evidence that he's the shooter."

Different US states have different laws and judicial systems, so there is a process involved in the transfer of fugitives, which can take days or weeks.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Mr Mangione tried to address reporters as he arrived for the hearing. He was heard shouting "completely unjust" and "insult to the intelligence of the American people" before being taken into court by officers.
