MOSCOW, ID – The 28-year-old man arrested in Pennsylvania late last week for the alleged stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students in mid-November has been extradited to Latah County. Bryan Kohberger was flown to the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport via a plane registered to the Pennsylvania State Police. A great deal of law enforcement arrived prior to the flight landing.

Kohberger is charged with four counts of 1st-Degree Murder and one count of Burglary in the case. He is accused to killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle with a fixed-blade knife at a residence in the 1100 block of King Road in the early morning hours of November 13th.

Kohberger will be served with the official charges and be housed at the Latah County Jail.

“We understand there are many questions from the media and the public regarding the way Mr. Kohberger will be housed when he arrives at the Latah County Jail. Mr. Kohberger will be evaluated by Jail staff when he arrives, as does every other inmate who enters our facility. Mr. Kohberger’s housing classification will be based on the evaluation given by jail staff,” Sheriff Richard Skiles says in a press release.
