MOSCOW, Idaho – Bryan Christopher Kohberger was charged with four counts of murder and felony burglary for allegedly stabbing to death four University of Idaho student in an off-campus rental home, officials announced Friday at a press conference.
Kohberger was arrested Friday morning in eastern Pennsylvania for the grisly Nov. 13 slayings of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20.
