The home where four University of Idaho students were murdered in their beds is set to be torn down.
Doors and windows of the off-campus house on King Road in Moscow have already been boarded up with plywood and a temporary fence has been erected around it.
It will be knocked down, the university announced on Friday, more than three months after Bryan Kohberger allegedly stabbed the students to death.
‘The owner of the King Street house offered to give the house to the university, which we accepted. The house will be demolished,’ stated university president Scott Green.
‘This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed.’
The demolition will help to limit efforts to ‘sensationalize’ the scene of the crime, Green said.
A memorial site and ‘healing garden’ will also be created in honor of the victims and other students who have died, he added. The place for them has not been determined.
‘We are evaluating options where students may be involved in the future development of the property,’ Green said.
