Ted S. Warren/AP PhotoMultiple media outlets report Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plead guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students as part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty. ABC News reports that the news was delivered to families of the victims in a letter from prosecutors. A change of plea hearing is set for Wednesday. Kohberger’s trial had been set to begin in August. Kohberger, 30, is accused in the stabbing deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves at a rental home near campus in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania weeks after the killings. He had been a criminal justice graduate student at Washington State University. -
