Bryan Kohberger, the man charged with murder in the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students, bought the same brand of knife that police suspect was used in the violent crime in November 2022, according to a new court filing.
In March 2022, Kohberger ordered a Ka-Bar knife with sheath and a sharpener from Amazon, the prosecution alleged in the legal brief, which was filed Monday but not made public until Wednesday. Detectives found a Ka-Bar brand leather knife sheath that included the U.S. Marine Corps stamped insignia at the crime scene in Moscow next to one of the victims and later discovered DNA on its button snap, according to a probable cause affidavit.
