Idaho students’ killer sentenced to life in prison for 2022 murders

Families spoke of grief as the court heard how DNA and video footage helped link Bryan Kohberger to the crimes

Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for the murders of four University of Idaho students, a crime that shocked the quiet college town of Moscow nearly three years ago.

The sentencing hearing allowed the families of Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Kaylee Goncalves to speak publicly about the devastation they've endured since 13 November 2022, the day their loved ones were found fatally stabbed in an off-campus home.
