Bryan Kohberger, 30, was to be tried in August for this quadruple murder committed in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Her recognition of guilt, which should be formalized during a hearing scheduled for Wednesday, should allow him to avoid the death penalty, according to CNN.
The story had intrigued America: the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen – both 21 years old -, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin – 20 years each and as a couple – had been larded with stabs.
These unexpected students were killed in their sleep, without waking up their two other roommates. The investigation had patinated for almost two months before the arrest of Bryan Kohberger.
“We are more than furious against the state of Idaho. They dropped us down, “reacted Kaylee Goncalves’s family on social networks, confirming the agreement made by the suspect to plead guilty.
The relatives of the young woman demanded the death penalty, and pushed in favor of a law promulgated in the spring in Idaho, who provides that the death row inmates be killed by an execution peloton.
Two and a half years after the murders, the accusation still has no mobile concerning Mr. Kohberger, who has always kept silent.
He was charged because the investigators found his DNA on a knife case recovered at the crime. A video also shows a car similar to his circulating in the victims district at the time of the murders.
The student was arrested on December 30, 2022 with his parents in Pennsylvania, more than 4,000 kilometers from Moscow. At the time of the murders, he studied about fifteen kilometers from this city, at the University of the State of Washington, with the ambition to pass a doctorate in criminology.
