Prosecutors and court filings reviewed by reporters describe the messages as part of the evidence now under examination,

The filings indicate Robinson discussed the attack and asked Twiggs to get rid of material that could be used as evidence.

Prosecutors have also charged Robinson with witness tampering for allegedly instructing his roommate to delete messages and remain silent, according to People and statements from the Utah County Attorney’s Office.

Robinson is being held on charges including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.

Authorities added that Twiggs is cooperating with investigators, while Robinson has not, according to Reuters and other media reports.
