Bryan Kohberger collected tens of thousands of dollars from his backers and his family after he was charged with murdering four Idaho college students in their sleep — and now he’s attempting to keep the money from the families of his victims, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

Kohberger agreed to pay some $27,000 of restitution to the families of his victims when he pleaded guilty in July to killing four University of Idaho students by stabbing them to death in 2022.

Kohberger’s lawyer, Emily Massoth, argued in court that he does not have the money.

But Ada County Judge Steven Hippler pointed out that Kohberger had received “five figures” from family and supporters before he filed the plea.

Massoth, however, said that money had been used to pay expenses while in jail, including fees for calls with his family.
