With one-word answers, he confessed to the disturbing crime: Judge Steven Hippler: Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty? Bryan Kohberger: Yes Judge Hippler : Did you on November 13, 2022 enter the residence at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho with the intent to commit the felony crime of murder? Kohberger : Yes Judge Hippler : Did you on November 13, 2022 in Latah County in the state of Idaho kill and murder Madison Mogen, a human being? Kohberger : Yes Judge Hippler : And did you do that willfully, unlawfully, deliberately, with premeditation, and with malice of forethought? Kohberger : Yes Judge Hippler : Did you on or about the same date in Moscow, Idaho, kill and murder Kaylee Goncalves, a human being? Kohberger : Yes Judge Hippler : And did you on that same date in Moscow, Idaho, kill and murder Xana Kernodle, a human being? Kohberger : Yes Judge Hippler : And then on or about November 13, 2022, again in Latah County, Idaho, did you kill and murder Ethan Chapin, a human being? Kohberger : Yes Later in the hearing, Kohberger officially changed his plea, one count at a time, with the same emotionless tone that belied the horrific nature of his murders. Judge Hippler : With respect to count one, burglary felony, how do you plead Mr. Kohberger? Kohberger: Guilty Judge Hippler : As to count two, murder in the first degree as it relates to the murder of Madison Mogen, how do you plead guilty or not guilty? Kohberger: Guilty Judge Hippler : As to count three, as it relates to murder in the first degree to the murder of Kaylee Goncalves, how do you plead guilty or not guilty? Kohberger: Guilty Judge Hippler : As to count four, the first degree murder of Xana Kernodle, a human being, how do you plead guilty or not guilty? Kohberger: Guilty Judge Hippler : As to count five, first degree murder of Ethan Chapin, a human being, how do you plead guilty or not guilty? Kohberger: Guilty Photo: AP

If you are an expatriate living in Oman who cannot yet speak basic Arabic, it might be high time to sign up for an easy language learning course. Luckily, Arabic learning centres across Muscat are more than willing to help, to enable expatriates avoid making conversations a 'game of chance' …………………. A heated argument between a local cabbie and an Indian expatriate at Ruwi recently proved quite amusing for a group of onlookers – while the cabbie humbly demanded his legal fare, the expatriate was vocal about being duped and kept insisting on paying him more! Conversations between Omanis and non-Arabic speaking expatriates in Muscat as well as other parts of the sultanate often take a hilarious tone as language barriers pose many a dilemma. While learning Arabic is not mandatory, most expatriates rely on English and Hindi to express themselves – thankfully enough, Omanis willingly oblige without a qualm. The moot issue here is about expatriates not learning to converse in Arabic, though many have stayed on for decades on end. On the other hand, there are one too many language learning centres that offer classes at convenient hours, but witness only a trickle of students. Expatriates like Kaylee Jones, an English translator and student of Noor Majan institute's summer programme, says, 'When I moved to Muscat, many suggested that I learn Arabic if I intended staying for a long time. Now, as I often struggle to strike up conversations with a friendly Omani cop who doesn't speak English, I realise that I should've listened to them a long time ago.' There are scores of expatriates of varied nationalities, like Kaylee, who want to learn the language in a slightly more formal learning environment. Eagerly enrolling themselves to institutions like Noor Majan's Muscat campus, they seek to gain a deeper understanding of the Arabic language. A former alumnus of Noor Majan Arabic Institute, Robert Rodriguez said, 'I learnt Arabic here several years ago to speak the language fluently enough with locals in Oman. As an intelligence officer in the US Army that visits Muscat occasionally, I find it easier to navigate around the city and have managed to gain and maintain close friendships with the people here because of my knowledge of the language and my adoration of the Omani culture.' Shreya Gupta, a current student in the institute's summer programme, said, 'Since I have recently graduated from Georgetown university with a minor in Arabic and Islamic studies, I fell in love with Islamic and Muslim cultures and wanted to expand on this knowledge I have received by learning the language thoroughly this time.' Why expatriates don't learn Arabic This excitement to learn the language, however, doesn't seem to be conveyed by non-Arab locals within the area. As a (part-time) instructor at Noor Majan Arabic Institute, Ahmed al Balushi elaborates, 'We typically get a lot of foreign students who come to Muscat for an internship or a graduate job. For our summer programmes that go on till August, we typically get at least six to ten students per class. I guess a reason for this slow intake is partially because most non-arab speakers do not have the time to commit to our lectures, and partially because most of them simply believe that they can learn bits of it on their own as some words are similar to other languages they speak, like Hindi.' Arabic tutor Fatima al Wahaibi, who conducts Arabic classes online and in-person in the Saud Bhawan Residency 1 building at Al-Khuwair, explains, 'As I'm a private instructor who only charges RO1 per class and conducts classes at timings and venues convenient for people who don't speak Arabic, I tend to get a lot more residents within the area to attend my online and offline classes. So, in my perspective, I think, the biggest factor that affects those who learn to speak Arabic is cost and convenience.' Mahi Chaudhary, a student at Fatima's sessions, confirms this suggestion saying, 'As a housewife who lives next to the Saud Bhawan Residency buildings, I find it easier to attend Ms Fatima's evening classes because of its location. Typically, these classes would comprise me and three other students, all of whom have jobs that prevent them from taking upoing for longer classes that go on throughout the day. But I personally don't mind the smaller structure because of how much more time I get to spend with everyone else as we learn the language together. For me, it's easier for me to learn Arabic here rather than in a bigger and noisier classroom.' Another student of Fatima's in-person session, Omar Sheikh explains the key differences between both the learning formats. 'I used to attend classes offered by the Sultan Qaboos Institute for non-native speakers. However, I found that the classes were too expensive for me and it became too stressful to balance coursework with my office work throughout the day. That's why I prefer learning here. But, I also understand that if I had properly applied myself to those classes, I would have learnt more Arabic than the typical conversational phrases we learn in Ms Fatima's classes.' Despite these differences in class structures and core curriculum, students and staff from both organisations highlight the importance of learning Arabic in a class environment. As a student of Noor Majan Arabic Institute, Nikhil Sharma puts it, 'Everyone has their own style of learning a new language. However, expecting most non-Arabic speakers to learn the language entirely on their own is a bit unrealistic. I think it is important for people planning to work and live here for many years to learn the language. It is equally important to make learning accessible to the general public because it helps us learn and adapt to a new and distinct culture.' (Contributed by: Ishita Shetty)

1st set of police records released in Idaho college murders, revealing gruesome new details
This story may contain accounts and descriptions of actual or alleged events that some readers may find disturbing. For the first time, the public can read what many have wondered for nearly three years: just how gruesome the scenes were where Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were brutally murdered in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022. Hours after Bryan Kohberger was sentenced on Wednesday to four life sentences plus 10 years for the killings, the Moscow Police Department released around 300 documents about the investigation. The kitchen door was ajar when officers arrived, and blood was smeared on the walls and floors, coating the four college students' belongings and pooling by their bodies, according to police reports released by police. Some of the victims were bathed in so much blood, officers responding to the King Road home at first were not able to sort out what additional injuries there might be. Their faces were so badly damaged as to be unrecognizable, according to the police report. Kernodle had "defensive knife wounds" on her hands, the police report said. "It was obvious an intense struggle had occurred." On the third floor, Kaylee and Madison lay together in a bed covered in a pink blanket that was "covered in blood." There was a "large pool of blood" near Kaylee's midsection, and blood spatters on the walls. "Madison appeared to be laying up against Kaylee. Madison had what appeared to be wounds to her forearm and hands. Madison had a gash under her right eye which appeared to go from the corner of her eye to her nose. Kaylee was unrecognizable as her facial structure was extremely damaged," a report said. The bodies were pale and rigid and appeared to have lost a lot of blood, another police report said. According to the coroner's report, Ethan Chapin's "fatal injury was from a stab wound under his left clavicle which severed his subclavian vein and subclavian artery, and also his jugular vein was severed." Kernodle's fatal injuries were stab wounds to her lung and heart. She had over 50 stab wounds, "mostly defensive," according to a report. Both Mogen and Goncalves were stabbed in the lung and liver. Goncalves also had two brain bleeds and a stab behind her clavicle, which cut the vein and artery. She had over 20 stab wounds as well as injuries "connected with asphyxiation and blunt force trauma." The coroner determined that the murder weapon "was not serrated, single edged, very sharp, and said a lot of force was used by the suspect.' She would later also determine that the "shape and the size" of the KA-BAR knife Kohberger purchased on Amazon was "consistent as being the weapon which could have caused the injuries on all four of the victims." When investigators discovered that the tan leather sheath of a KA-BAR knife had been left behind at the crime scene, they canvassed the Moscow area to see where, if anywhere, the killer might have locally bought the knife. They visited numerous sporting goods and hardware stores to no avail, according to a police report. Then at Walmart, while perusing knives on display, the investigator learned something else important: the Walmart employee helping him said that "about two to three weeks ago, a white college aged male, asked for a black ski-mask that would cover his face." She "was unable to provide much detail other than he was taller than she was and maybe had tan skin complexion," and that she told him they only had camo ski masks available. He then "walked away." Surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen would later tell police on the night of the killings, she saw a male intruder clad all in black with a black balaclava ski mask on obscuring most of his face — but that she did think she saw his bushy brow. After the killings, investigators also spoke with Kohberger's fellow students at Washington State University, where he had been pursuing his Ph.D. in criminology. A fellow teaching assistant said he "considered Kohberger a friend," and that he was "very intelligent but also selfish," and that Kohberger "would often mislead him when it came to their shared work and would have [him] complete work meant for Kohberger." Kohberger was also "frequently twenty minutes late to their classes." The two also discussed "Kohberger wanting a girlfriend on many occasions," the fellow TA said. Kohberger also "liked to discuss his area of study which was criminal decision making and burglary type crimes," according to a report. And the student also told investigators "about some injuries he witnessed on Kohberger's face and hands," and while he was "unsure of the date," he thought he had noticed the injuries "on two separate occasions in October and November of 2022." One was a "large scratch on Kohberger's face which [the student] described as looking like the scratches from fingernails." The student "also saw wounds to Kohberger's knuckles on two separate occasions," and when he asked Kohberger what happened, he "replied he had been in a car accident."

Who was Kaylee Goncalves? Sister of Idaho murder case victim confronts Bryan Kohberger directly during his sentencing
Kaylee Goncalves was one of the four University of Idaho students brutally murdered in their off-campus home in a gruesome Idaho murder case in November 2022. The case drew national attention for its shocking details and the months-long search that led to the arrest of Bryan Kohberger. Nearly three years later, on July 23, 2025, Kohberger stood before the victims' families during a tense sentencing hearing. Among those in court was Kaylee's sister, who looked him in the eye and spoke from a place of pain, love, and fury. Her words brought back focus to who Kaylee was beyond the headlines, beyond the horror. What happened on the night of the Idaho murders? On the night of November 12, 2022, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin had attended a Sigma Chi party. They returned to Xana's rental home on King Road around 1:45 a.m. Surveillance footage and phone records later placed the time of the murders between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. A DoorDash order was delivered around 4, and Xana was on TikTok just minutes before the attack. Bryan Kohberger has confessed to the 2022 murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. That morning, four promising lives were taken in their sleep, mostly. Some had defensive wounds; each was stabbed repeatedly. Two other roommates in the house survived, untouched. The man accused of the gruesome murders is Bryan Kohberger. A criminology Ph.D. student from Washington State University, just nine miles away from where the students lived. His DNA was found on a knife sheath at the scene. Surveillance footage and cellphone records tied him to the neighborhood. He had visited the area at least 12 times before the attack. Still, no clear motive has been confirmed. During sentencing, Kaylee's sister confronted Bryan Kohberger and didn't hold back In a Boise courtroom this week, Alivea Goncalves took the floor and the entire room listened. Her voice didn't shake. Her words didn't soften. Addressing Kohberger directly, she said, 'I'm going to call you exactly what you are: sociopath, psychopath, murderer.' Her statement wasn't scripted, it felt like it had been building inside her since that awful November morning. 'Sit up straight when I talk to you,' she said. Then came the questions, raw, burning ones. 'Did you prepare for this? Did you plan? Why my sisters? Did you start shaving your eyebrows before or after?' And then, a line that echoed through the room: 'The truth is, you're basic.' #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #Idaho4 #IdahoStudentMurders Sister of Kaylee Goncalves; 'Let me be very clear, if you hadn't attacked them in their sleep in the middle of the night like a paedophile, Kaylee would've kicked your fcking ass'DAMN Olivia Goncalves 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼… She went on: 'You're not important. Don't try to convince yourself that you matter just because someone said your name out loud.' The courtroom applauded soon after. Alivea ripped into his perceived intelligence, 'If you were so smart, would you be here now?' and stripped him of the power he may have thought he had. Her words were brutal, unfiltered, and devastating. They didn't just speak for her family. They screamed for every family who's ever buried a child taken by violence. Who was Kaylee Goncalves? She was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, and she was inseparable from her best friend Madison Mogen, her 'sister' in every sense. They'd grown up together, laughed together, and tragically, died together. The two were found alongside friends Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin on Nov. 13, 2022, in a brutal and senseless killing that stunned the country. Her sister, Alivea Goncalves, described Kaylee as a fighter for fairness, someone who couldn't stand injustice, even in small ways. 'She had everything going for her,' Alivea said. 'She didn't hold back not with love, not with life, not with anything.' More about Bryan Kohberger's sentencing Bryan Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Each murder charge carries a life sentence. His trial has been long-awaited, with DNA evidence, cellphone tracking, and digital purchases, including a military knife, all playing into the prosecution's case. He has pleaded guilty, however, the motive is yet to be established. Autopsy reports confirmed that all four victims were likely asleep during the attack. The two roommates who survived, still unnamed publicly, have not spoken out in depth. Investigators haven't identified why they were spared or if the killer even knew they were there.
