A white supremacist accused of killing a man in his tent in an outdoor camping area in the US state of Montana has given police a version of events so implausible as to be ridiculous.
A version that nothing corroborates. On October 10, Dustin Kjersem, a 35-year-old father and outdoor enthusiast, went camping in Moose Creek, in the American state of Montana. On site, he set up his large wall tent, with his wood stove, his bed and all his equipment. The next afternoon, he planned to pick up his girlfriend to spend the weekend here with him. But the latter remained without news for 36 hours.
Worried, she finally decided to go to Dustin Kjersem’s camp on Saturday October 12 in the morning. And discovered his companion dead in his tent. The man showed several marks of mutilation and was lying in his blood. A scene so violent that the young woman and the investigators wondered for a time if the camper had not been attacked by a bear. A hypothesis quickly ruled out by an agent from the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, who “found no signs of bear activity on the premises”.

The authorities then spoke of a “violent attack” and the autopsy revealed that the victim was “hit in the head with a piece of firewood, stabbed in the neck with a screwdriver and hit in the face with the blunt side of a an axe”.

An implausible version
In the process, the police welcomed the arrest of a man suspected of the murder of Dustin Kjersem, Daren Christopher Abbey. Fox News had access to his hearing report and explains today that this 41-year-old man told investigators that he too came to camp in Moose Creek on the evening of October 10. Dustin Kjersem had already set up his tent and all his gear, he said, and the two started chatting over a few beers.
Daren Christopher Abbey said that at one point, his dog jumped on Dustin Kjersem’s air mattress, leaving muddy paw prints everywhere. He told police he then apologized and took a t-shirt to the creek, wet it and then cleaned the paw prints off the mattress. But, he said, the father allegedly threatened to “shoot his dog” and “kill him” afterwards. The suspect said the camper walked toward him and they got “tangled.”

Daren Christopher Abbey finally admitted that he killed Dustin Kjersem, but that it was “in self-defense.”
A supremacist tattooed with swastikas
A version of the facts incompatible with the injuries observed on the victim’s body. Daren Christopher Abbey never spoke about the ax used to hit Dustin Kjersem and responded differently to the same question asked during his various interrogations. The man admits, on the other hand, to having taken the victim’s two mobile phones “for fear that we would find his fingerprints on them” and to having returned to the scene of the crime the day after the murder to recover the hat he had left behind him, assuring that there was “nothing wrong with that”. When he returned to the scene, he confirmed having entered Dustin Kjersem’s tent and declared that the victim’s body was “in the same position” as the day before.
Daren Christopher Abbey has been described by people around him as a “white skinhead”, a “supremacist” with tattoos all over his body – including a Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, swastikas and the insignia of the SS -, who liked to talk about his time in prison. As for Dustin Kjersem, “his life was devoted to fishing, snowboarding, camping,” his brother told the American press.
