"US High School Student Kills Parents to Secure Funds for Trump Assassination"

Revealed to Be Immersed in Neo-Nazi Ideology
Shared an Anti-Semitic Manifesto Praising Hitler

The motive behind a Wisconsin high school student who killed his parents and fled by car was revealed to be raising funds for a plan to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the government, according to investigation results.


Major U.S. media outlets including the Associated Press reported on the 13th (local time) that Nikita Kasap (17) is facing such charges based on an investigator’s affidavit and warrant released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) two days ago.

According to the FBI, Kasap is accused of violating federal laws by being immersed in neo-Nazi ideology, planning a conspiracy to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government using weapons of mass destruction, and purchasing drones and explosives.


Kasap wrote a three-page anti-Semitic manifesto praising Adolf Hitler, who led Nazi Germany, revealing his intentions and plans. He shared these plans with others via TikTok and the Telegram messenger.


In particular, the FBI reported that he contacted a Russian-speaking user and shared plans to flee to Ukraine. Kasap was investigated to be deeply involved in a neo-Nazi cult called the "Order of Nine Angles" and claimed to be a follower of this group.


The FBI explained that Kasap apparently killed his parents because he believed he needed to secure financial means and escape parental interference to carry out his plans. Earlier, Kasap was charged last month by Waukesha County authorities in Wisconsin with first-degree murder and theft.


According to investigators, around February 11, he shot and killed his mother, Tatiana Kasap (35), and stepfather, Donald Meyer (51), hid their bodies in the house, then fled around February 23 in a car registered under his deceased stepfather’s name, taking the family dog with him. Kasap hid $14,000 in cash (about 20 million won) inside a Bible and fled with jewelry, his stepfather’s handgun, and the deceased parents’ passports and credit cards.


The high school Kasap attended found it suspicious that he had not attended school for over two weeks, notified relatives on February 28, and reported to the police. Police officers who visited Kasap’s home discovered the severely decomposed bodies of his parents. Kasap was apprehended that night in Waukee, Kansas, about 1,400 km from the house on the highway.
