BOISE, ID (AP, MyBellinghamNow.com) – The man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students has been booked into jail in Boise, where his trial was moved last week.

Idaho’s Supreme Court moved the trial of Bryan Kohberger after his defense attorneys argued that extensive media coverage and strong emotions in Moscow would make it difficult to find an impartial jury. Prosecutors unsuccessfully argued they could find impartial jurors in Moscow by bringing in a large pool to choose from.

Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder in the deaths of Ethan Chapin of Skagit County and three Idaho women who were killed in the early morning of Nov. 13, 2022.

When asked to enter a plea last year, Kohberger stood silent, prompting a judge to enter a not-guilty plea on his behalf.

Officials have said that Kohberger traveled in the region the night of the killings and that his DNA was found at the crime scene. Kohberger’s attorneys said in court filings that he was just out for a drive that night, which he often does.

The trial is set for June 2025.
