Newly obtained court documents reveal that Fraser Bohm, accused of causing a horrific October 2023 crash in Malibu that killed four Pepperdine University sorority sisters, repeatedly asked police if he could call his mother and said he wanted to go home after learning the women may have died. Instead, officers detained and questioned him for hours about the circumstances of the crash before he was read his Miranda rights, and his defence team is now trying to get those pre-Miranda statements thrown out ahead of his upcoming murder trial.

Bohm, now 24, faces four counts of second-degree murder and four of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence over the deaths of Niamh Rolston, 20, Asha Weir, 21, Peyton Stewart, 21, and Deslyn Williams, 21, who were struck while walking after his BMW slammed into parked vehicles on Pacific Coast Highway. Prosecutors say the car's black box showed Bohm accelerating from 93mph to 104mph just seconds before the crash, in a 45mph zone, while a witness testified he had been driving "like a bat out of hell" at 70-80mph beforehand. Judge Thomas Rubinson is due to rule on whether jurors can hear Bohm's roughly six hours of body-camera-recorded comments and answers to police, given they were made before he was formally cautioned.
