Guilty plea expected over US student murders
A 30-year-old man is expected to plead guilty to the murders of four students in Idaho to avoid the death penalty, following a plea deal with state prosecutors. The victims, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen, were fatally stabbed in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, in 2022. Bryan Kohberger, a graduate criminology student, faces trial in August and is anticipated to plead guilty to all four murder charges as part of the agreement.
