The macabre research of PhD student charged over four gruesome murders

The mugshot showed him staring impassively into the camera after police descended on a house in the quiet community of Effort, deep in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania, to lead him away.

Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old doing a PhD in criminology, was wanted for the knife murder of four students at the University of Idaho 2,500 miles away. His arrest was the first big breakthrough in a case that had baffled police, sparked a series of online conspiracy theories and terrorised the small college town of Moscow, Idaho, where the murders were discovered almost seven weeks ago.
