Idaho house where university students were murdered in 2022 is demolished

Owner of property donated it to the University of Idaho, which said that its demolition was a key step towards finding closure

Demolition began on Thursday of the house where four University of Idaho students were killed last year, marking an emotional step for the victims' families and a close-knit community that was shocked and devastated by the brutal stabbings.

The sounds of construction equipment pierced the early morning air as an excavator started tearing down the front part of the house. The former walls formed a large pile of crushed and smashed wood on the ground as debris was picked up and loaded into a dump truck.
