Idaho man who murdered four students sentenced to life in jail

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Haunting new crime scene photos reveal blood-soaked rooms inside the off-campus house where four University of Idaho students were viciously slaughtered by cold-blooded killer Bryan Kohberger.

Nearly 3,000 previously unseen photos providing a chilling glimpse into the November 2022 murders were quietly leaked by Idaho State Police on Tuesday – then quickly scrubbed from their website, according to the Daily Mail, which obtained the grisly images before they were taken down.

The disturbing new photos show blood splattered on nearly every surface — doors, walls, furniture, mattresses, sheets, and floors — of bedrooms thrown into chaos inside what otherwise looked like a typical college residence in the city of Moscow.

Bryan Kohberger pleads guilty to murdering four Idaho college students

The accused killer of four university students in the US state of Idaho in 2022 has agreed to plead…

Other graphic images showed the victim’s belongings, including cell phones, laptops, shoes, and clothing stained with blood in the trashed bedrooms where Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Ethan Chapin were knifed to death as they slept on Nov. 13, 2022.

One of the eerie photos showed what appeared to be smeared bloody fingerprints on a white nightstand in one of the ransacked bedrooms, with blood dripping off the walls in another.

Other pictures showed what appeared to be the aftermath of a college party, with red Solo cups scattered, beer cans strewn across the staircase, and a folding table still set up for beer pong.

Goncalves’ devastated family released a statement after the horrifying images were made public.

“Please be kind & as difficult as it is, place yourself outside of yourself & consume the content as if it were your loved one,” the family wrote in a lengthy statement on Facebook Tuesday night.

“Murder isn’t entertainment & crime scene photos aren’t content.”

The grieving family said they were told Tuesday morning the gruesome photos would be released, but the images were already public 12 minutes later when the call ended.

“That’s the ‘heads up’ we received,” the statement said.

It’s unclear why the trove of images were uploaded then removed from the department’s website.

Idaho State Police did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Kohberger, 31, took a surprise plea deal last July, just weeks before his highly anticipated trial was set to kick off.

Kohberger copped to the quadruple killings but the deal saw him skirt the possibility of the death penalty, enraging some of the families of his victims and leaving the loved ones with no explanation for why he committed the heinous murders.

He is serving four life sentences without the possibility of parole at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
