Idaho College Murder Suspect Accepts Plea Deal

Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, has accepted a plea deal, according to multiple outlets. Scripps News has not yet independently confirmed the news.

A letter sent to victims' family members states that Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to all counts and will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences, waiving his right to appeal.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 2nd to change his plea. Jury selection was previously set to begin on July 30, with the trial scheduled to start in August.

Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalvez in an off-campus home near the University of Idaho in November 2022.

His case began in Latah County but was moved to Ada County after the defendant was granted a request on September 12 to move the trial.
