University of Idaho campus will not scale back security measures and police patrols even as suspect is arrested for the brutal murders of four students

• The University of Idaho is keeping an increased level of security on campus
• Police arrested and charged a suspect with the quadruple murders in November 
• Bryan Kohberger, 28, left Monroe County Correctional Facility, in PA, at 6am 
• He is expected to be transferred to Latah County Jail in Moscow, Idaho 

Campus security at the University of Idaho will not be stepping back its security protocols despite charges being brought in the quadruple murder.

An increased number of foot patrols and security went into effect after the murders of the four students on November 13 – with many students refusing to return after the Thanksgiving break.

But despite the arrest and charges against Bryan Kohberger, 28, patrols are set to remain in place as the college town tries to overcome the shock of the bloody slayings.

While there is a ‘sense of relief’ with Kohberger in custody, there are no plans to scale anything back.

However, it is unusual for defense attorneys paid by the state to create a reconstruction of the crime scene.

Meanwhile, Kohberger’s parents have insisted they don’t have the money for a private attorney.

They attended his court hearing yesterday, covering their faces from the media, as he appeared in a red prison-issued jumpsuit and was handcuffed.

The investigation of the house comes after the court ordered a clean-up mission to be halted, when it was announced that authorities had made an arrest in the chilling case.

Photos show that an Idaho State Police trooper accompanied the group, but the lawyer in Idaho representing Kohberger has yet to be identified.

Kohberger’s public defender in Pennsylvania, Jason LaBar, said that the alleged killer expects to be ‘exonerated’ – with his family standing by him.

Investigators started tracking Kohberger’s movements across the US, with witnesses claiming that they saw both him and his father getting repairs done to a white Hyundai Elantra on December 16.

Police then impounded the vehicle from outside his parents’ home when they swooped on the property in Chestnuthill Township, Monroe County.

Kohberger had previously studied under a professor in Pennsylvania known for her expertise on serial killers, and was studying criminology at Washington State University at the time of the slayings.

Investigators in Moscow, Idaho, have yet to outline a motive, but those who knew Kohberger say he had a deep interest in the psychology of criminals.
