According to U.S. media, a 30-year-old man will be tried for a fatal stabbing by four roommates in a small college town in Idaho, which will plead guilty as part of a deal with state prosecutors to avoid the death penalty.
The Lata County Attorney’s Office refused to confirm with the BBC that a plea agreement was reached with Brian Koberg.
But relatives of one victim, Kaylee Goncalves, apparently confirmed the agreement on Facebook. “Yes! We’re extremely angry at the situation in Idaho,” the Post said. “They failed us.”
Ms. Gonkavis, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen were killed in an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho a few days before Thanksgiving 2022.
Mr. Koberg, a criminology student in the murder period, will be tried in August.
Also on Monday, a judge in Pennsylvania, a defendant’s homeland, ruled that three people who knew him must go to Idaho to testify.
Mr. Koberg recently reportedly wrote to the families of four murdered University of Idaho students.
