The family of a suspect arrested and charged on Friday in connection with the murders of four University of Idaho students have said they will continue to support him as the investigation continues.
Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was taken into custody in Pennsylvania early Friday in connection to the quadruple murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin following an investigation by the Moscow Police Department, the FBI and Idaho State Police.
“We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions,” his family said in a statement, according to the New York Post.
Moscow Police said that more information about the circumstances leading up to the arrest would be released once Mr Kohberger appears in court in Idaho.
Mr Kohberger’s attorney has said his client intends to waive his 3 January extradition hearing in the Keystone state to expedite his return to Idaho.
