STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — It's been more than a year and a half since the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students shocked the nation, and on Monday, a new development in the case in northeast Pennsylvania. 28/22 News was inside the Monroe County Courthouse on Monday as several witnesses connected to Bryan Kohberger were called before a judge. Potential witnesses in the Idaho murder case were questioned, one by one. Most of them tried to avoid having to testify, saying they barely knew Kohberger or that being involved in the high-profile case could cost them their jobs, but the judge didn't agree in every case. A judge ruled that three Pennsylvania residents subpoenaed by Kohberger's defense must travel to Idaho to testify at his upcoming murder trial.

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge on Monday ordered that three people whose testimony has been requested by defense attorneys will have to travel to Idaho to appear at the trial of a man accused of stabbing to death four college students in 2022. The defense subpoenas were granted regarding a boxing trainer who knew Bryan Kohberger as a teenager, a childhood acquaintance of Kohberger's and a third man whose significance was not explained. The 30-year-old Kohberger, who was arrested at his parents’ home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, weeks after the November 2022 killings, is accused of sneaking into a rental home in Moscow, Idaho, not far from the University of Idaho campus, and attacking Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves. The deaths shocked the rural Idaho community and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at Washington State University.
