Idaho students' killer sentenced to life in prison for 2022 murders

Bryan Kohberger received a life sentence for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. Judge Steven Hippler sentenced him to four life terms without parole and a 10-year burglary sentence. The brutal killings shocked the community and led to widespread fear among students.

Investigators linked Kohberger to the crime through DNA found on a knife sheath and surveillance footage of his car. During the sentencing, victim families expressed their grief and anger. Alivea Goncalves told Kohberger, “If you hadn’t attacked them in their sleep... Kaylee would have kicked your fucking ass.”
