The Labour MP, Jo Cox.
This news is from The Guardian newspaper and it's about the Jo Cox's killer, Thomas Mair. The news talks about the information that the court obtained after five months of Jo Cox murder in his trial, which took place on Monday.

The Labour MP was shot twice and stabbed about fifteen times causing her numerous wounds in her heart, lungs, abdomen and in her right arm. The murderer was shouting 'Britain first, this is for Britain, Britain will always come first' when he was just going to attack Cox.

These affimations from the witness who were in the crime scene lead the court to suppose the reason why Thomas Mair killed Jo Cox.
Considering that he killed her one week before the referendum on the united kingdom's membership of the european union was taken, the cause of the killing is influenced by the differences in the ideology of the murderer and the victim. Jo Cox was a supporter of the campaign for Britain to remain in the UE. She also was assosiated with charities like Oxfam, where she was always demanding for more help for the victims of the war in Syria, or Save The Children.

Mair is alleged to have accessed in diferents internet sites about Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, the Waffen-SS, the death penalti in Japan, Israel, matricide and serial killers in the days before Cox was killed.

I still remember when Jo Cox was killed this summer. It was very shocking and unbelieveble. At the begining, I could not understand the reason why the murderer killed her. But, after I had thought about it in a couple of days, I came into an easy and simple conclusion, similar as the court's supposition.

June was not an easy month for British people. On the 23rd, they had to make an important decisión for their contry: they had to vote if they wanted Britain to remain in the UE or to leave. Many ministers were supporters of the campaign to remain in Britain, such as Jo Cox. She defended her thoughts about that issue and she fought a lot to make the Britain's population see what was the right choice - remain in the UE -. Even though, there were people, like Thomas Mair, who did not respect other opinions, in that case Cox's opinion, and they wanted to show there disagreement by violence.
The Labour MP was doing a lot of campaigns and that annoyed Mair. So, he wanted to take revenge on her by killing her. What an useless way to show his anger.

The way that the media and people (including me) in general call Thomas Mair is curious. We call him a murderer who comited a crime. Up to here everything is normal. But if we think a little bit more, if the person who killed the minister was, for example, muslim, we would not call him "the murderer" or "the killer". We would call him "the terrorist", "the radical muslim", "the jihadist",... and we would say that he comited a terrorist attack and that he did not respect the freedom of expression or thought of the minister.

Otherwise, it is interesting how people were not afraid for Thomas Mair's researches. Searching information about nazis, Ku Klux Klan, the Waffen-SS,... is normal, you know (ironically). It is crazy how we treat this action normal.
On the other hand, I bet that there is a lot of people who didn't even know that Jo Cox was killed. Once again, people only focus on there own interests. I do not blame them for that; we living in a world were the media is very controlled.
