A man charged with the murder of a camper has claimed he was acting in self-defense when he stabbed the victim in the neck with a screwdriver and struck him with an ax after the victim flew in a rage about his dog’s muddy paws.
Daren Abbey, 41, of Basin, Montana, was charged with deliberate homicide and two counts of tampering with evidence in connection with the death of Dustin Kjersem, 35.
