Brian Smith (226 Year Prison Sentence) Interrogation

Brian Smith – a South African immigrant living in Alaska has been found guilty of the murders of two Native Alaska women in 2018 and 2019.

Brian Steven Smith, 53, filmed the horrific murder of Kathleen Henry in September 2019, content which was discovered by a sex worker, Valeria Casler and turned over to the police. Once he was arrested, he voluntarily confessed to the murder of Veronica Abouchak, whose remains were discovered in April 2019. He was sentenced to 226 years for the two murders he was convicted of committing. Now there may be a third victim connected to the case, making him an alleged serial killer.

Questions have been asked about whether Smith started his killing in South Africa.

Whilst in South Africa, Smith stayed in East London, Gqeberha and Johannesburg. Echoes of Boetie Boer?
