MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) — The house where four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in November will be demolished, school officials said Friday.
The owner of the home in Moscow offered to give it to the university and the school accepted, University President Scott Green said in a memo to students and employees.
“This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed,” Green wrote.
No timeline has set for the demolition, but university spokesperson Jodi Walker told the Idaho Statesman that the goal is to have the house knocked down by the end of the semester.
“We’re just working through the processes that it takes to do such a thing,” Walker said. “But from the university standpoint, and in talking with the families, the sooner, the better.”
