MOSCOW, Idaho (NEWSnet/AP) — The defense team for , accused of killing four University of Idaho students, has been given access to the off-campus home where the deaths occurred.
Lawyers intend to gather photos, measurements and other documentation before the house is demolished.
Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in connection with the deaths in November 2022 at the rental house near the university campus in Moscow, Idaho.
In early 2023, a judge entered a not-guilty plea on Kohberger’s behalf. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson has said he intends to seek the death penalty. No trial date has been set.
Kohberger’s defense team accessed the home on Thursday and was expected to do so again on Friday, the university said.
The home where students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were killed was given to the university earlier this year, and university officials plan to begin demolition Dec. 28. The university hopes that removing the house will reduce the impact the deaths have had on the many students who live nearby.
