Luigi Mangione, the man accused of stalking and killing US health insurance CEO Brian Thompson is expected to plead guilty in a federal court case against him.

The move could lead to double jeopardy in a separate state case arising from the same alleged incident.

What's next?

Mr Mangione is due in court on Friday, local time, for a hastily scheduled hearing in the federal case.

If he's taking a plea deal, there won't be a jury.

He just pled guilty.
