Former criminology PhD student charged with killing four undergrads in 4 a.m. home invasion attack
Kohberger judge rejects 'alternate suspect' theory
Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger sees yet another legal setback with just weeks to go before his highly anticipated trial.
Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal to spare his life in exchange for a guilty plea in the murders of four University of Idaho students, two sources close to the case told Fox News Digital Monday.
Kohberger, 30, is accused of killing Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack on Nov. 13, 2022.
All four had been stabbed multiple times with a large knife. Police recovered a Ka-Bar sheath that they allege had Kohberger's DNA on it near Mogen's body.
