The killer may have been trying to commit the 'perfect murder,' forensic psychiatrist Ian Lamoureux told Newsweek.
The murder of four University of Idaho students, in the early hours of November 13 2022, was likely a"thrill kill" according to a leading forensic psychiatrist.
Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology Ph.D. student, was arrested on December 30, and has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder along with burglary. Kohberger's legal team have indicated he will plead not guilty and will seek to clear his name.Ian Lamoureux, a forensic psychiatrist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Arizona, said initial evidence suggests the murders could have been a"thrill kill.
Lamoureux, who emphasized that Kohberger has yet to be convicted of any crime, continued:"It seems as though there is some speculation, given his background in criminal studies, that this could be the motive—the thrill of outsmarting the authorities., if guilty and accurate, could represent stalking/hunting behavior that killers of this category exhibit as a way of stoking excitement in anticipation of the murders—'the thrill of the hunt.
