The family of Idaho murders victim Ethan Chapin have spoken out for the first time since Bryan Kohberger was jailed for life for slaughtering their son and his three friends inside a college home.
Chapin’s parents Jim and Stacy Chapin and triplet siblings Maizie and Hunter chose not to attend Kohberger’s sentencing at Ada County Courthouse in Boise last week or share a victim impact statement to be read on their behalf.
Instead, they planned to spend the day together as a family honoring the 20-year-old freshman at their home in Priest Lake, Idaho.
Now, one week on, the Chapin family has released a separate statement on Instagram voicing their support for the outcome of the case and paying tribute to their son who ‘touched so many lives.’
‘We’ve given a lot of thought to what we should say since 7/23 and have edited this a million times,’ they said, alongside a series of photos of the family together.
