A man accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students to death has reportedly reached a plea deal to spare him of the death penalty.
Bryan Kohberger has agreed to plea guilty to all counts in the killings, according to a letter to the victims’ families.
Kohberger’s trial was scheduled to start on August 18.
The family of victim Kaylee Goncalves was notified of the plea agreement, according to their lawyer, Shanon Gray. They wrote on Facebook on Monday afternoon that they were ‘beyond furious at the State of Idaho’.
‘They have failed us,’ they stated.
‘Please give us some time. This was very unexpected.’
Kohberger allegedly stabbed the students in their off-campus home in Moscow in November 2022.
He was charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
The plea deal took the death penalty off the table.
Kohberger is expected to appear for a change of plea hearing in court on July 2.
