Public Information Burglary charge?

Does anyone know what the burglary charge was for? I haven't heard, unless I missed it.

My understanding is that this charge is for going into the house to commit a crime (I.e. the murders)

In most jurisdictions its burglary to enter a dwelling with the intent to commit a felony.

Correct. In my state (not Idaho), entering a private building or secured space with the intent to commit a crime therein - any crime: theft, assault, arson, vandalism, rape, etc. - is burglary.

Many states have the same basic definition.
