Brian Steven Smith, a South African man, was found guilty of first-degree murder for brutally killing two Alaska Native women, Kathleen Henry and Veronica Abouchuk, in a case where he recorded the violent act on a stolen memory card. Smith was convicted of multiple charges, including sexual assault, and will face a life sentence due to Alaska's absence of the death penalty. The trial exposed disturbing details of the murders, with Smith narrating the killings in the recorded video, while the victims' families and Smith's wife experienced the harrowing proceedings.
