BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A grand jury has indicted a man who was already charged in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, allowing prosecutors to skip a planned week-long preliminary hearing that was set for late June.
Bryan Kohberger was arrested late last year and charged with burglary and four counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Nov. 13, 2022, slayings of four students at a rental home near the University of Idaho campus.
At the time, Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at nearby Washington State University.
A preliminary hearing had been scheduled for June 26, but now that will be skipped and the case will go directly to a district judge.
