The man charged in the killing of British politician Jo Cox appeared in a Westminster court Saturday with a message.
"My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain," Tommy Mair said when asked his name in the dock.
The murder of Cox, 41 years old, has shocked Britain, and raised questions about the tone of campaigning before the EU referendum which takes place next Thursday.
Police said the suspect had been charged with murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offense and possession of an offensive weapon.
