Stone-faced killer Bryan Kohberger finally confessed to murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022 during his plea deal hearing on Wednesday.
Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, were brutally stabbed on November 13, 2022, in one of the most horrific events ever to unfold on a college campus.
But the plight of the victims’ families is far from over. Some were horrified and distraught at the plea deal Kohberger cut with the court – while others accepted his guilty verdict, which has been approved by Judge Steven Hippler.
Kohberger will no longer face the possibility of being put to death by firing squad.
The callous killer calmly answered ‘yes’ multiple times when asked if he willingly murdered Mogen, Kernodle, Goncalves, and Chapin two and a half years ago.
Not only did the victims’ heartbroken relatives break down in tears, but the prosecutor’s voice broke as his final sentence tailed off during the hearing in Boise.
Kohberger is due to be sentenced over a two-day hearing starting July 23.
