The cousin of Alex Murdaugh has revealed he was left stunned after the double killer previously asked him to shoot him in the back of the head. Yesterday, Murdaugh was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for the murder of his 52-year-old wife Maggie and their son Paul, 22.
Curtis Smith had done all manner of tasks over the years for the highly respected attorney and his partner Maggie over the years, the Mirror reports. Smith claims he and his distant relative were on a desolate country road one morning when the legal veteran said 'I want you to shoot me in the back of the head' while holding a loaded gun in his hand.
Murdaugh, 54, who was addicted to painkillers, wanted to die so his son Richard could inherit his £8million life insurance policy. However, his plan failed and he was left with a wound to his head which he told police was caused by a stranger who shot him as he changed a tyre.
