Idaho student murders suspect Bryan Kohberger returns to court today for a motions hearing as his defense hopes to have a slew of evidence in the case blocked from his trial.

The 30-year-old aspiring criminologist is accused of entering a six-bedroom home and killing four University of Idaho students in a 4 a.m. stabbing spree on Nov. 13, 2022. At least two of the victims were asleep at the start of the attack, according to authorities.

He allegedly turned off his cellphone before heading to the house and changed his license plates days after the murders, according to authorities. But they allege they found a key piece of evidence: his DNA on a Ka-Bar knife sheath left under the body of Madison Mogen, 21.

They took a cheek swab at the scene, and he has been held without bail ever since.

A judge entered not-guilty pleas to charges of first-degree murder and burglary at his arraignment in May 2023.

After successfully arguing for a change in venue, Kohberger will be tried in Boise with a start date scheduled for Aug. 11.
