On Thursday, July 14, a Colleton County grand jury indicted Murdaugh, 54, on two counts of murder and two counts of having a firearm while committing a violent crime. He is accused of carrying out the terrible murders in June 2021.
Paul Murdaugh, 22, and Margaret Murdaugh, 52, were found shot at their South Carolina family plantation. Murdaugh even called 911 to report their demise.
The public was not given much information in the indictment. It is still unknown why the murders occurred. Murdaugh, on the other hand, appears to have used a shotgun on his child and a rifle on his wife. Alex Murdaugh continues to deny the charges and asserts that he has a strong alibi. He supposedly visited his sick father and mother on the day his wife and child were killed.
Attorneys for Alex Murdaugh contend that their client loved his family and deny the accusations.
Attorneys Jim Griffin and Richard Harpootlian for Alex Murdaugh insisted that their client is innocent and refuted the charges of murder against him. The Daily Beast was informed by Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys as follows:
He wants everyone to understand that he had nothing to do with the murders of Maggie and Paul. More than anything else on the globe, he adored them.
Detectives have video footage that shows Murdaugh close to the crime scene, according to NBC News. The inquiry is still underway, according to formal statements made by state Attorney General Alan Wilson and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel.
“SLED agents and our partners have worked relentlessly for the past 13 months to build a case against the person who killed Maggie and Paul and to exclude those who were not.”
The probe was always in the agents’ line of sight. I have been very clear that the goal was to see that justice was done. Today marks a significant turning point in Maggie and Paul’s arduous quest for justice.
“The pursuit of justice for the families of the victims has been the focus of every effort made by our officers and the law enforcement organizations involved in this investigation. We would like to express our gratitude to the State Law Enforcement Division, the attorneys and staff in our office, as well as everyone else who contributed to this investigation.
For “listening to that evidence and serving the people of South Carolina,” he praised the Colleton County Grand Jury.
What other charges does Murdaugh face?
Gloria Satterfield, Alex Murdaugh’s 57-year-old housekeeper, passed very suddenly at his house in 2018, and it is also believed that she was the victim of millions of dollars in theft. He is also accused of taking $8.5 million from his clients, according to 71 allegations.
Murdaugh is also charged with embezzling funds from the law firm run by his relatives. Murdaugh is also charged with illegally transferring millions of dollars as part of a scheme to distribute oxycodone. The former attorney then attributed his actions to his drug addiction.
