Alex Murdaugh indicted in June 2021 murders of his wife, son at their SC estate

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Disbarred Hampton County attorney Alex Murdaugh has been formally indicted by a Colleton County grand jury in the June 2021 murders of his wife and youngest son.

The indictment was announced Thursday by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office, two days after news broke that the State Law Enforcement Division was planning to charge Murdaugh, 54, in Maggie and Paul’s shooting deaths.

The murders, which have generated widespread attention across the state and nation, had remained unsolved for more than a year as state law enforcement refused to comment publicly on their investigation, rarely releasing any information in the case.
