Teen charged with killing parents in plot to attack Trump

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 did this to obtain the financial resources and autonomy necessary for an attack on President Donald Trump and to overthrow the U.S. government, reports 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. Materials related to this organization were found on his phone, adds the portal.

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, which called 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, after the potential assassination, planned to flee to Ukraine. He reportedly 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.
