University of Idaho Reverses Course, Delays Demolition of House Where Four College Students Were Brutally Stabbed to Death

The University of Idaho has announced that the house where four college students were brutally stabbed to death last November will remain standing until October. The decision to delay the demolition of the rental house on King Road in Moscow, Idaho, was made following outrage from some of the victims’ families.

In an email to students and employees, University of Idaho President Scott Green said that the university had reversed course on its decision to demolish the house. “We know that every action and decision around this horrific incident is painful and invokes emotions,” Green said in a statement.

A lawyer representing the family of victim Kaylee Goncalves criticized the planned demolition last month, saying that school officials had asked the victims’ families for their opinions about the house and its future, but had not received any response. The lawyer also said that the family was “deeply hurt” by the university’s decision to demolish the house without consulting them.

The university has since apologized for not consulting the families and has promised to work with them to ensure that the house is preserved in a way that honors the victims. The university has also said that it will work with the families to create a memorial for the victims.

The University of Idaho has not yet announced what will happen to the house after October. The university has said that it will continue to work with the victims’ families to ensure that their wishes are respected.
