North Idaho road-rage murderer David Hutto to be sentenced Monday

David E. Hutto, who pleaded guilty to killing Coeur d’Alene resident William “Bo” Kirk on Oct. 22, will be sentenced in Kootenai County Superior Court on Monday.

Hutto was accused of kidnapping Kirk and killing him after following him home after a road-rage incident. Kirk was reported missing when he never returned home from his job as an X-ray technician at Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls.

Kirk’s body was found on Oct. 25 near the Hayden Creek shooting range not far from where his burning truck was located in the 23000 block of North Rimrock Road.

Hutto originally entered a not-guilty plea for the charges of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, robbery and arson. The Coeur d’Alene Press reported that the arson charge was dropped in exchange for a plea of guilty on the other charges.

Hutto faces up to life in prison on the murder and kidnapping charges.
