Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger has waived formally his extradition rights during an appearance at the Monroe County Courthouse in Pennsylvania on Tuesday afternoon.
The 28-year-old criminology PhD student was led into court amid heavy security where he signed a document to indicate he was voluntarily allowing authorities to transfer him to Idaho, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin, who was in court.
A judge ordered him to be returned to Idaho within 10 days.
Mr Kohberger nodded at family members, including his mother and sister, who were sitting in the front row, Mr Entin wrote in a Twitter post.
WFLA’s JB Biunno captured footage of Mr Kohberger being taken into the courtroom handcuffed and wearing red prison fatigues.
Earlier, Mr Kohberger showed no reaction as reporters shouted questions at him as he arrived at the courthouse.
Once he returns to Idaho, new details will likely emerge about what led authorities to arrest him on suspicion of the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in Moscow on 13 November – with the criminal complaint expected to be unsealed.
