Luigi Mangione is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York .

Mr Mangione, 26 , was arrested in Pennsylvania on Monday after a days-long , multi-state manhunt.

Lawyer Thomas Dickey said he had not "seen any evidence yet" implicating his client.

Experts say he is unlikely to be able to mount an effective legal defence to the charges he faces.

He is currently being held in a state prison in Pennsylvania where he is fighting extradition.
