The home where four University of Idaho students were murdered last year is set to be demolished this summer.
College spokesperson Jodi Walker told the Idaho Statesman that they plan to raze the Moscow home before students return to school in late August. However, Walker could not provide a specific date when the demolition would happen.
The Idaho Statesman reported that personal items are being removed from the home, including the belongings of two residents who were not injured during the quadruple slaying.
Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D. criminal justice student at Washington State University, was arrested in December in Pennsylvania for fatally stabbing Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle 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.”
Kohberger remains jailed without bail. His trial is scheduled to begin on October 2.
