DISTURBING new photos show convicted killer Bryan Kohberger shirtless, flexing his muscles, and showing a wound on his hand days after murdering four University of Idaho students.
The undated photos were obtained from the Latah County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, giving a rare glimpse into the convicted killer’s behaviour before his arrest.

The murders took place in November 2022 in Moscow, Idaho, where Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin were fatally stabbed.
Photos shared by NewsNation show Kohberger flashing a two-finger salute atop his forehead, his collarbones sharply visible, while his left ring finger appeared cut.
Investigators believe the wound could have been sustained during the fatal home invasion when one of the students fought back.
Kohberger, then a Washington State University PhD student, is otherwise shown without injuries.
In other photos, he poses shirtless, earbuds in, flexing his upper body in multiple angles.
One extreme close-up shows him grinning directly at the camera with what authorities described as a “devilish” expression.
Kohberger’s disturbing conduct at WSU was documented long before the murders.
Reports included allegations of sexual comments, including one directed at a deaf classmate, asking if she could “be comfortable procreating given the fact she had a disability.”
Police records show two women accused Kohberger of stalking them for months before the Idaho murders.
One woman, a bookstore employee, reported that Kohberger would knock on her window while she changed and flee when her husband appeared.
She also claimed he appeared on her porch after work around 7 pm, later leaving in a white car.
The vehicle matched a white Hyundai Elantra that tied Kohberger to the Idaho crime scene.
The second woman, an undergraduate working in the criminology department, said Kohberger frequently watched her from outside, making unnerving eye contact.
Police documents described him making “daily” visits to the women’s workplaces and showing up unannounced at their homes.
The full details of Bryan Kohberger’s sentence
On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following:
- Count 1: Burglary – 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine.
- Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.

- Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
The sentencings will run consecutively to one another.
Kohberger was arrested at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022.
He pleaded guilty on July 2, 2025, just before his trial was set to begin.
Part of his plea deal guaranteed he would avoid a firing squad.
He was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences plus 10 years for one count of burglary.
Authorities say his behavior in the photos mirrored complaints about him at WSU, where classmates described him as a “d–k.”
Several women who interacted with him before the killings recalled his constant unwanted attention.
