The house where four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed will be demolished.
In a statement on the school’s website, president Scott Green said Friday that a decision to demolish the house near the campus was made after its owner “offered” to give the house to the university
“This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed. Demolition also removes efforts to further sensationalize the crime scene,” Green said. “We are evaluating options where students may be involved in the future development of the property.”
The house will be razed sometime this semester, according to the university. Demolition of the house comes more than three months after students Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were killed in the Nov. 13 attack in Moscow, Idaho, that caused panic, confusion and frustration in the small college town.
Authorities arrested Bryan Kohberger, a former doctoral student in the criminal justice and criminology department at Washington State University in Pullman, about 10 miles away.
