Bryan Kohberger sentenced to life in prison for murdering 4 Idaho students

MOSCOW, IDAHO, JUL 24 – Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without parole for the stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students.

  • On Wednesday at the Ada County Courthouse, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to four consecutive life terms without parole, plus 10 years for burglary and $290,000 in fines and restitution to victims' families.
  • In June, Bryan Kohberger waived his rights to appeal, and his deal spared him the death penalty, ending the case without a trial.
  • Investigators uncovered that Kohberger meticulously cleaned his car's interior to cover tracks, and Bill Thompson stated this during the investigation.
  • Despite the sentence, families of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin remain frustrated by the lack of motive explanation, they said.
  • In recent days, Moscow Police will review and release investigative reports under Idaho Public Records Act, with records undergoing careful review.
