Bryan Kohberger sentenced to life in prison without parole: Live updates after victims’ families tell Idaho killer ‘you’re gonna go to hell’
Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty earlier this month to killing four University of Idaho students in 2022. He was sentenced on Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The murder victims were found stabbed to death in their off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022.
The murder victims — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin — were found stabbed to death in their off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022. Prosecutors laid out key DNA evidence, surveillance footage and cellphone records that linked Kohberger to the killings.
Kohberger, 30, was expected to go through a lengthy and highly publicized trial in August. But in a surprise turn of events, Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2 to murdering the four students as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
