A judge in Idaho has blocked the release of graphic images from the home where Bryan Kohberger murdered four college students.

Second District Judge Megan Marshall issued the ruling on Wednesday, writing that graphic images which include blood and any of the victims’ bodies will not be released by law enforcement agencies. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves.

In her ruling, Marshall explained the release of such pictures “would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” 

“There can be no doubt that the photographs, video, audio and other investigatory records in this case are incredibly disturbing,” she added. “The records are difficult to digest and provide a raw view into the horrific tragedy that occurred on November 13, 2022.”

Following Kohberger’s sentencing on July 23, Judge Steven Hippler lifted the gag order previously imposed on agencies associated with the case, allowing for the release of investigative documents.
