(CNN) — Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, is seeking to take back his guilty plea, he told The New York Times in an interview from prison.
Kohberger said he filed a petition to reopen the case and that he blamed his plea on “false promises” and wrong information.
A post conviction relief form was filed Monday in Idaho courts, documents show.
Kohberger was convicted last year after entering a guilty plea, during which he publicly admitted to the four killings for the first time.
“My actual innocence is my truth, and the plea, hinged on by false promises and blatant disinformation, MUST be withdrawn,” Kohberger said in a statement provided to The New York Times.
The office of Anne Taylor, one of Kohberger’s attorneys, declined to comment.
CNN has reached out to the Latah County prosecutor’s office, the Ada County prosecutor’s office, and the Idaho Attorney General.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
