RCMP investigators believe 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky and 19-year-old Kam Mcleod planned to kill more people.
Police say the pair of Port Alberni teens admitted to killing three people in Northern British Columbia, but expressed no remorse in the videos they recorded and did not explain their motives behind the killings that sparked a nationwide manhunt this summer.
Investigators say the two semi-automatic SKS long rifles used in the murders, were the same firearms found with the bodies of McLeod and Schmegelsky after they committed suicide in Northern Manitoba on August 7th
BC RCMP Commander Kevin Hackett said in a video shot on a camera stolen from one of their victims, the two planned to kill more people and expected to be dead in a week.
“A digital camera was also discovered. It contained six videos and three still images,” said Hackett. “In the videos, the suspects took responsibility for all three murders, they indicated no remore for their actions, as well as their intention to kill others.”
The longest video clip — about a minute long — consists of the two acknowledging their roles in the murders and then discussing their plan to march to Hudson Bay where they planned to hijack a boat and go to Europe and Africa.
The RCMP Behavioral Analysis Unit decided to not release the videos, as the two may have been looking for infamy as serial killers, and police want to prevent copycats.
