A mural of Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering a US CEO, has appeared in London, sparking global interest and debate.
LONDON (Reuters) - An unknown artist has created a public mural in London of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting and killing a U.S. health insurance executive in New York last year.
The large portrait of Mangione was spotted under a railway bridge in Bethnal Green, east London, depicting the 26-year-old in a green hoodie with his hair framed by an arch on the brick wall.
It is unclear when exactly the mural first appeared or who painted it.
The brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December and the ensuing five-day manhunt have captivated both Americans and others around the world.
While public officials have condemned the killing, internet admirers of Mangione and some Americans who decry steep healthcare costs and the power of insurers have hailed him as an anti-establishment folk hero.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder as an act of terrorism and weapons offenses.
