Quadruple homicide suspect Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal over the slaying of four University of Idaho students. Kohberger, 30, will plead guilty to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20 in November 2022. He will also admit a burglary charge. Prosecutors dropped the death penalty in exchange for his plea, sentencing him to life in prison without parole. The plea deal upset the family of victim Kaylee Goncalves.
Kohberger was due to face trial in August but is now expected to change his plea in court. He was linked to the murders by DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene. A motive for the murders was never disclosed. Prosecutors have alleged that Kohberger broke into the victims' home and stabbed them to death. The plea deal came after a chaotic hearing in his case.
