who were home at the time the horror unfolded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The killing spree understood to have taken place between 4am and 4.25am, the masked murderer fled shortly after &#8211; with Mortensen being the only person to have seen the intruder, whom he described as a masked man with &#8216;bushy eyebrows&#8217;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU resizable-image_lowRes__5OkaL resizable-image_fadeOut___ZcLy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 33vw, (max-width: 768px) 50vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=256&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 256w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=384&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltfb186d738cacdaa7\/649acf6560dd8b7583464b86\/Idaho_students.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"The four Idaho students were found dead in their home (CBS)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">The four Idaho students were found dead in their home (CBS)<\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Now, the 30-year-old suspect is understood to have accepted a judges plea deal which would mean he&#8217;d serve four consecutive life sentences as well as a maximum penalty of 10 years for the burglary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It would mean he&#8217;d be spared the\u00a0death penalty\u00a0&#8211;
