BC Murders

Pair confessed to BC murders before they died

Sep 27, 2019 | 6:26 PM

SURREY, B.C. – The RCMP says two suspects confessed to the homicides of three people in northern British Columbia in several videos taken before they shot themselves in a suicide pact.

The Mounties say 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod, who was 19, expressed no remorse in the videos and did not explain their motives behind the killings that sparked a nationwide manhunt this summer.

Before their deaths, the men were charged with the murder of Leonard Dyck, a University of British Columbia botany lecturer, and were also suspects in the deaths of American Chynna Deese and her Australian boyfriend Lucas Fowler.

The RCMP released new details of its investigation today and it says police located a digital camera belonging to Dyck where the bodies of the two suspects were found in northern Manitoba.

The camera contained three still images and six videos, and in one of the videos the two men say they plan to kill more people and expect to be dead in a week before they state their plan to shoot themselves.

The Mounties say McLeod shot Schmegelsky before shooting himself in a suicide pact, and two guns found near their bodies were the same firearms used in the killing of Deese, Fowler, and Dyck.
