Disgraced South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh was charged Thursday with the double murder of his wife and son on their sprawling family farm last year.
Murdaugh, 54 — a fourth-generation lawyer from a powerful legal family — was indicted on two counts of murder and two counts of weapons possession in the grisly shooting deaths of Maggie Murdaugh, 52, and Paul Murdaugh, 22, the state’s district attorney, Alan Wilson, announced Thursday.
The pair was gunned down near a dog kennel on the family’s 1,700-acre hunting estate in Islandton with at least two two separate guns — a rifle and a shotgun — on June 7, 2021.
The elder Murdaugh called 911 and frantically told a dispatcher he had returned home to find the bullet-riddled bodies of his loved ones.
