Inside murderer Alex Murdaugh's abandoned $4million estate with sinister history

Before finding Alex Murdaugh guilty of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul, the jurors were taken to the families sprawling countryside estate.

It was at the 1,700-acre Moselle farm in Islandton, South Carolina, US, where he shot his wife five times with an assault rifle after using a shotgun to shoot his son in the head causing it to explode "like a watermelon hit with a sledgehammer", the jury had heard.

The sprawling estate on 4147 Moselle Road is bordered by the Salkehatchie River and includes a 5,275-square-foot house, a farm and the dog kennels at the heart of the investigation.
