Deadly attacks on University of Idaho students were ‘personal’

By Thomas A. Smith

The autopsies performed on the four University of Idaho students who were butchered showed that the killings were personal as the father of one of the victims suggested that his daughter tried to fight off the attacker.

Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt on Thursday confirmed that the cause of death was murder by stabbing.

It would have had to been a large knife, she told the Moscow-Pullman Daily News about the murder weapon, which has not been found.

The coroner described the early Sunday attacks as personal, according to Idaho News, which cited a CBS report.
