University of Idaho to Demolish House Where Four Students Were Murdered

Bryan Kohberger, accused of the murders, awaits trial as concerns rise over the demolition of the crime scene.

The University of Idaho plans to demolish the off-campus home where four students were murdered last November. The house was given to the university earlier this year, and demolition is set to begin on December 28.
Bryan Kohberger, a graduate student at Washington State University, is charged with the murders. His defense team was given access to the home to gather evidence before its demolition.
The university plans to build a memorial garden on the property once the house is demolished. The 'Vandal Healing Garden and Memorial' will serve as a place for students and community members to reflect and remember loved ones they have lost.
Some family members of the victims and investigators have expressed concern about the demolition, arguing that the house should be preserved until after the trial is completed.
No trial date has been set yet. The Latah County Prosecutor intends to seek the death penalty for Kohberger.
