Murders in Idaho: Bryan Kohberger had a specific target

One of the most awaited trials across the Atlantic will not take place. By agreeing to plead guilty of the quadruple murder perpetrated in November 2022 in Moscow (Idaho), Bryan Kohberger avoids putting his fate in the hands of a jury and spares the death penalty. He should therefore be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, nor the right to appeal. To the chagrin of the families of the victims, who finally hoped to face the thirties and perhaps obtain answers.

During a hearing on Wednesday at the Boisse court on Wednesday, Bryan Kohberger therefore answered “yes” to the question: “Do you plead guilty because you are guilty?” Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson then explained the unfolding of the appalling quadruple murder who cost Madison Mogen (21), Kaylee Goncalves (21), Xana Kernodle (20) and Ethan Chapin (20).

The voice strangled by emotion, the magistrate suggested that the ex-student in criminology entered the house of Moscow, with the intention of killing a single person. “We do not claim that he intended to perpetrate all the murders he committed that night, but we know that is what happened,” said Bill Thompson. It seems indeed, in view of the trajectory followed by the murderer, that Kaylee, Xana and his little Ethan were collateral victims.

Indeed, the 30-year-old entered the house by the kitchen’s French window and immediately went to the third floor, when there were two bedrooms on the second floor. He entered Madison’s room, who was sleeping with Kaylee, and stabbed them to death, written “people”. It is near Maddie’s body that the case of the crime weapon will be found, a crucial element that will allow authorities to unmask the culprit.

Still awake, Xana had just recovered an order of food when she crossed the murderer on the stairs, which cost her life. Kohberger then went to the young woman’s room, where he massacred Ethan, who was sleeping. We will probably never know why the 30 -year -old spared Dylan, one of the inhabitants, who found himself face to face with him. The murderer’s mobile will also probably always remain a mystery. Several hypotheses were issued during the investigation.

Kohberger may have developed an obsession with Maddie, who worked in a Greek restaurant serving vegan dishes, a diet he followed. Nothing proves that the two had interactions, whether in person or on social networks, notes the “Daily Mail”. “But that was not necessary for Kohberger to strengthen the pretty face of Mogen, his long blond hair and his sparkling personality. Obsessions came to him easily. After all, he was an ex -herinomaniac, ”said Howard Blum, who wrote a book on the case.

Kohberger’s fascination for serial killers, a childhood trauma due to a car accident or an act of murderous madness perpetrated at random are also part of the theories mentioned in this extraordinary news item.
