Man charged with murder of British lawmaker says - 'My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain'

LONDON (Reuters) - When asked his name in a London court, the man charged with the murder of British lawmaker Jo Cox said: "My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain". Thomas Mair appeared in Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with the murder of Cox, an attack that has shocked Britain and brought a temporary halt to campaigning ahead of next week's referendum on European Union membership. Mair has been charged with murder, causing grievous bodily harm, and possession of a firearm and another offensive weapon.
