Bryan Kohberger sentenced to life in prison in killing of four Idaho students

BOISE, Idaho (CNN, KYMA/KECY) - The man who murdered four Idaho college students in an off-campus home in November of 2022 was sentenced to life without parole Wednesday.

Bryan Kohberger learned his sentence from the judge in a court hearing in Boise.

Before the sentencing, he listened to victim impact statements. This included a statement from Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee Goncalves.

"Today we are here to finish what you started. Today, you've lost control. Today, we are here to prove to the world that you picked the wrong families, wrong state, the wrong police officers, the wrong community. You tried to break our community apart, you tried to plant fear, you tried to divide us, you failed. Instead, your actions have united everyone in their disgust for you."

Kohberger, earlier this month, pleaded guilty to four counts of murder and burglary in exchange for the death penalty taken off the table.
