As reported by The Huffington Post:
New rules implemented on Twitter Monday have led to the suspensions of accounts belonging to prominent neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other far-right extremists.
[...] "You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people," states Twitter's rule for "violent extremist groups," which went into effect Monday.
"This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism," the rule continues. "You also may not affiliate with organizations that – whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform – use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes."
[...] The "alt-right ― a loose association of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, assorted racists, fascists, and other far-right elements that has used Twitter for years to organize and recruit ― anticipated today's "purge," with many preparing to make the jump to Gab, a largely rules-free micro-blogging platform used primarily by white nationalists.

That is nonsense, where do you get your facts. It is well documents that the originators of that alt-right event continually called for non-violence. Antifa openly admits that they went to the alt-right event to assault the alt-righters. There is no equivalence there.

That article claims they charged him with Murder 1, but I thought this was a textbook case of Murder 3.

I didn't read the article, but if he didn't intend to kill her wouldn't that be Murder 4 / involuntary manslaughter? Murder 3 is voluntary manslaughter (at least here in the US), aka a crime of passion murder, which means they did intend to kill the person in the moment, but hadn't planned on it, and committed the act under such circumstances that would "cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed"
