BOISE, Idaho — A house near the University of Idaho campus where four students were found stabbed to death in a gruesome attack in November will be demolished, university officials said.
In an email to students and employees Friday — with the subject line "Outpouring of Support Brings Healing From Tragedy" — Scott Green, the university president, said the owner of the house had offered to give the residence to the university. The house is located on King Road near the campus.
"The house will be demolished," Green wrote. "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. We are evaluating options where students may be involved in the future development of the property."
