The house where four University of Idaho students were murdered in November 2022 is being demolished on Thursday, The Associated Press reported.
Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of slaying Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves, is on trial for four counts of murder for allegedly stabbing the students in the house near the university’s campus. The owner of the rental house donated the house to the university, which announced the demolition plans in February, according to the AP.
“That is an area that is dense with students, and many students have to look at it and live with it every day and have expressed to us how much it will help with the healing process to have that house removed,” Jodi Walker, university spokesperson, told the AP.
Some of the victims’ families want the house to be preserved until after the trial of Kohberger, according to the AP. A judge entered a not guilty plea for him earlier this year, and his lawyers told the court he had been driving alone when asked for an alibi.
Prosecutors want to try Kohberger in summer of 2024 and informed the university that they didn’t need the house anymore as exhibits for the trial had already been gathered, according to the AP.
Three of the students, Kernodle, Mogen and Goncalves, lived in the rental house near campus, and Chapin, who was Kernodle’s boyfriend, was visiting the house when the attack occurred, according to the AP.
The University of Idaho did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
