The man accused of killing four University of Idaho students last year reportedly has an explanation for where he was when the slayings occurred.
On Monday, Bryan Kohberger’s legal team filed documents stating that he has an alibi that puts him in a different place during the quadruple slaying. His lawyers wrote that they will prove Kohberger was elsewhere through their expert witnesses and by cross-examining the state’s witnesses, according to KXLY.
Kohberger, a Ph.D. criminal justice student at Washington State University, was arrested in December in Pennsylvania for fatally stabbing Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Kaylee Goncalves at the women’s off-campus home on November 13, 2022.
Kohberger is believed to have turned off his phone during the murders. However, police claim he visited the area 12 times before the slayings.
Kohberger was arrested after a cross-country trip with his father from Idaho to Pennsylvania. During their trip, Indiana police pulled over the pair twice.
Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary. Prosecutors filed court documents detailing their intent to pursue the death penalty as they deemed the four slayings were “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel.”
