Bryan Kohberger's trial for Idaho student murders moved to Boise

Bryan Kohberger's murder trial for the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students has been moved to Boise, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

The court's order stated that all proceedings in the case be moved from Latah County, where Moscow, Idaho, is located, to Ada County, which includes the state capital of Boise. District Judge Steven Hipple was assigned to the trial, the filing stated, and Kohberger was to be transferred into the custody of the Ada County Sheriff.

Idaho Second District Judge John C. Judge filed paperwork on Sept. 9 stating he was concerned about Kohberger's ability to receive a fair trial at the Latah County courthouse in Moscow, where the university is located. Four college students — Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves — were fatally stabbed in a rental house near the campus, and their deaths and the ensuing arrest of Kohberger had shaken the tight-knit community in the small city.
