Bryan Kohberger’s signed confession has been released after he admitted to murdering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen.

Mogen and Goncalves, 21, and 20-year-olds Chapin and Kernodle were all found dead at their off-campus home in Idaho on November 13, 2022.

Kohberger was later charged with four counts of first-degree murder, and one count of burglary in connection with their deaths.

The suspect initially pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, however, his recent plea deal saw him admit to the murders so he will not be handed the death penalty.

The plea agreements states Kohberger will be sentenced to ten years for the burglary charge, as well as a fixed life sentence on the four counts of homicide.

NewsNation's Brian Entin revealed that Kohberger was asked if he 'stabbed and murdered' Mogen, 'deliberately killed and murdered' Goncalves, as well as taking the life of Kernodle and Chapin, to which Kohberger responded with 'yes'.

A signed confession by Kohberger saw the murderer admit to killing Mogen, Goncalves, Kernodle, Ethan Chapin with 'premeditation and with malice forethought'.

While the document includes Kohberger's admission to breaking into the off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho, it did not offer an explanation as to why he killed the innocent students in their sleep.

The document, which looks to have been penned in June, was signed one day before the court hearing where Kohberger admitted to his awful crimes.

A forensic psychiatrist said recently how Kohberger's rage could have been triggered by a psychological pattern.

"It is especially significant that Maddie and Kaylee look like the blonde cheerleader who rejected him in middle school," Dr Lieberman told the Mail.

"He took out the rage that he built up over the years, towards this first love and all the subsequent women who rejected him."

The expert looked into Kohberger's demeanour during the plea agreement, and there was certainly a lot of red flags.

"He was so angry, so defiant," Dr Lieberman said. "He certainly wasn’t remorseful."

Despite the plea deal, the victims' family are calling for a trial and for Kohberger to face the death penalty.

Goncalves' sister said in a statement: "We’ve had faith in the system. But at this point, it is impossible not to acknowledge the truth: the system has failed these four innocent victims and their families."
