The case of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, is back in the spotlight.
His lawyers are preparing to meet federal prosecutors for a potential plea agreement, according to reports in US media.
Mangione faces two federal charges of stalking resulting in death, each carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. It was not immediately clear which charges are under discussion.
He also faces a separate state trial over Thompson’s death. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges in both cases.
The BBC’s Nada Tawfik explains what could happen next.
