South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh expected to be indicted on murder charges (wife, son)

[NJCher]

Wow, just wow. I thought he did it all along but I just couldn't imagine the depravity of killing your own kid and his wife, the mother of his child. I mean, how do you do that? How do you get to that place?

A grand jury is expected to indict embattled South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh on murder charges in last year's slayings of his wife and son, sources told NBC News on Tuesday, the latest twist in the sprawling scandal engulfing a local legal dynasty.

According to three sources close to the investigation, the grand jury is expected to indict later this week on double murder. They will announce the findings of the indictment shortly thereafter. The family has been notified of the indictment and so has Murdaugh. Part of the indictment is based on new evidence.

Lawyers for Murdaugh were not immediately reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.

Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh, 52, and youngest son, Paul Murdaugh, 22, were found shot to death on the night of June 7, 2021, at their rural estate and hunting lodge in Colleton County, South Carolina. Murdaugh, 54, called 911 saying he had discovered the bodies of his wife and son.

1. this is relevant

Maggie, his wife, wrote a will in which she left her property to him. This was before she and her son were "mysteriously killed."

2. I imagine they'll indict the other guy too. Two different guns were used.

Insurance money on the wife? The kid just happened to be there?

5. The kid was implicated in the death of the girl on the boat. Civil suits on that looked like they

would be pretty expensive.

3. Good

what a POS, it's almost unbelievable what this scum has done

4. Didn't he kill the housekeeper as well?

[Scrivener7]

6. And the older son is implicated in the killing of a gay kid from the neighborhood.

Killing him with a baseball bat.

A family full of sociopaths.

7. Yes. And she was more than just a housekeeper

She had been with the family since the kids were little and had helped raise them.

And then robbed her family of her life insurance.
