The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealth Group executive Brian Thompson was transferred into New York Police Department custody on Thursday to face murder charges after he waived his right to extradition proceedings in a Pennsylvania court hearing.   Luigi Mangione, 26, appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit at the Blair County courthouse, where he consented to surrender to the New York police officers who also attended the short hearing. He departed the courthouse in a New York police vehicle and is expected in Manhattan later on Thursday.   A grand jury in New York has indicted Mangione on 11 counts, including first-degree murder and murder as an act of terrorism. Mangione has been in jail since his arrest. Mangione has not yet entered a plea. His New York defense lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, has said Mangione has been “overcharged” and that he would fight the charges in court.   #Reuters #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #NYPD #healthcare #CEO #executive #Pennsylvania
