A criminology graduate student from Washington State University has been arrested in Pennsylvania and charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students more than six weeks ago, authorities said on Friday.
Police acting on a fugitive arrest warrant took Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, into custody on Thursday night, according to James Fry, chief of police in Moscow, Idaho, where the University of Idaho campus is located. Fry said Kohberger has a home in Pennsylvania.
The victims — identified as Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho — all suffered multiple stab wounds, Fry said. Some of the bodies also showed defensive wounds, Fry said, suggesting they had tried to fend off their attacker.
Authorities said Kohberger was a graduate student, with an apartment residence, at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, about 10 miles from the University of Idaho campus. He was listed on the WSU's website as enrolled in the criminal justice and criminology department.
