Welcome to The Independent's US Morning Headlines newsletter
Stunning new details about the murders of four University of Idaho students have been revealed in an affidavit supporting the arrest of suspect Bryan Christopher Kohberger. Mr Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology PhD student at Washington State University, has been charged in the 13 November deaths of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21. They were killed in a rental home just blocks from the UI campus in Moscow, Idaho, right across the state border from WSU in Pullman, Washington. The suspect was arrested in his native Pennsylvania, then extradited to Idaho, where court documents were unsealed following his first appearance before a judge in the state. Portions were redacted but the remaining pages revealed chilling details about the murders - among them that a surviving roommate came face to face with the killer; Kohberger's cell phone record and police traffic stops indicate he'd been casing the home; and DNA from a knife sheath was used to forensically connect the grad student to the crimes. Here are the biggest revelations from the documents: |

What happens if Republicans fail to elect Kevin McCarthy as speaker? |
The House of Representatives has failed to decide on a new speaker for the first time in a century, after Republican Kevin McCarthy was unable to secure a majority at the end of three consecutive days of voting. Mr McCarthy must get a simple majority of votes from members to be elected speaker after Republicans took control of the lower chamber in the November midterms. So what does the US Constitution say must happen next if Mr McCarthy fails to secure one of the important positions in US politics, behind only president Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris? |
