(NewsNation) — Bryan Kohberger must pay some of the nearly $30,000 in donations he’s received from supporters and family members to his victims’ families, a judge ruled.
Kohberger was ordered to pay an additional $3,000 to the families of two of his victims to cover the cost of their urns.
The brutal 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community of Moscow, Idaho, in a case that has commanded the attention of the country years later.
Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Kaylee Goncalves, 22; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.
The students were found with fatal stab wounds in an off-campus rental home in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022.
He was sentenced on July 23 to four concurrent life sentences without parole for each count of murder and 10 years in prison with a $50,000 fine for burglary.
A little over a month after the killings, Kohberger was arrested at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania on Dec. 30 and extradited to Idaho.
