You know how we sometimes give South African expats a hard time about leaving the country?

I think we can all agree that not only are we glad that Brian Steven Smith left South Africa, but also that we don’t want him back.

You can have him, Alaska. May he rot in one of your jails.

In case you need a refresher, Smith is the guy who was busted after a video was found of him allegedly murdering Kathleen J. Henry in a hotel room in Alaska. He allegedly filmed himself killing her, labelled the SD card ‘homicide at Midtown Marriot’, then lost it.

So he’s clearly an idiot.

It also turns out that Henry wasn’t his only victim, reports TimesLIVE.

Brian Steven Smith has been charged for the murder of a second woman.

According to the State of Alaska’s Attorney General, the 48-year-old – formerly of Queenstown in the Eastern Cape – has been indicted on 13 counts by a grand jury which include murder, sexual assault and evidence tampering.

The Alaskan police had previously mentioned that they might be able to link Smith to a second murder. I’m guessing that they found the evidence they needed to make it stick, because Senior Assistant Attorney General Cori Mills says that Smith was charged with the second murder this week.

“The two alleged incidents occurred over a year apart.

“Following the arrest of Smith for the murder of the first victim, the Anchorage Police Department conducted an interview.

“During the interview, Smith admitted to shooting another female victim between 2017 and 2018,” Mills said.

Police officers said that he even provided the location of her body.

“Earlier this year, Alaska State Troopers recovered a skull with a gunshot wound from an area near the location identified by Smith,” she added.

Mills said the police probe into the hotel room murder suggested that Henry had been tortured.

“If convicted at trial and found to have subjected the first victim to substantial torture, the defendant will be sentenced to a mandatory 99 years of imprisonment,” Mills said.

More disturbing information has also been revealed regarding the imagery that was on the SD card.

The person filming pointed the camera at Henry while he slapped and strangled her, with the woman moaning and trying to scratch at his wrist as his grip tightened, the memorandum reads.

At one point in the footage, Smith is alleged to have said, “you need to f***ing die bitch…just f***ing die.”

99 years might actually be too short for someone as revolting as Smith.
