Federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke the U.S. citizenship of a South African man convicted of killing two Alaska Native women. Brian Steven Smith, 52, was found guilty earlier this year in the deaths of the two women, one of whom he recorded as she died. The disturbing video was discovered on a phone stolen from his pickup and later turned over to the authorities.
Prosecutors allege that Smith falsely answered questions on his naturalization application, specifically denying any involvement in killing, hurting, or sexually assaulting anyone. However, it was revealed that he had committed the two murders, which involved torture and sexual assault, before completing the application.
