Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, must pay for the urns for two of the slain students as a part of restitution, a judge ruled.

Kohberger killed four students — Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20 — at an off-campus house on Nov. 13, 2022. He took a plea deal over the summer and was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for four counts of first-degree murder and 10 years in prison for a burglary charge.

The total of the two urns is $3075.58. Additionally, Kohberger has also been ordered to pay $251,227.50 in criminal fines and fees, a civil judgment of $20,000 to each family, and $31,964.67 in restitution orders to the families of Kernodle and Chapin.
