Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, has shared footage of their final moments together, after her husband was assassinated at an event in Utah this week.

On Wednesday (10 September), Kirk was hit by a single shot to the neck during a Utah Valley University (UVU) event.

The 31-year-old right-wing activist was taken to the hospital by his security team, where he was later declared dead.

After a brief manhunt for the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, from Utah was apprehended in custody after handing himself in.

In the last 24 hours, more details have emerged about Robinson, including how he was identified as well as a possible motive.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has said that he hopes Robinson 'gets the death penalty' should he be found guilty.

The mum said: "What do you tell a three-year-old? 'Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don't you worry. He's on a work trip with Jesus [so] he can afford your blueberry budget'."

Erika also shared a post on social media, where she captured her final moments with her husband.

The heartbreaking post shared a clip of Erika visiting Kirk and crying over his casket.

In the devastating footage, she can be seen holding his hand, telling him: "I love you, I love you, I love you. God bless you."

Erika also shared photos of her arriving in Phoenix, clutching JD Vance's wife Usha Vance's hand as they disembarked Air Force Two, as well as American flags flying at half mast.

Erika captioned the post: "The world is evil. But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. Не...Не is so good. I will never have the words. Ever.

"The sound of this widow weeping echos throughout this world like a battle cry.

I have no idea what any of this means. But baby I know you do and so does our Lord.

"They have no idea what they just ignited within this wife. If they thought my husband’s mission was big now..you have no idea.

"You. All of you. Will never. Ever. Forget my husband @charliekirk1776 I’ll make sure of it.

"Rest in the arms of our Lord baby as he blankets you with the words I know your heart always strived to hear, 'well done My good and faithful servant.'"
