WALTERBORO, S.C. — Alex Murdaugh’s brother testified Monday to instances when he believed law enforcement officers were trying to mislead him about their investigation into Murdaugh’s role in the murders of his wife and son.
During an interview with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division in August 2022, John Marvin Murdaugh said he was told by an agent that investigators “knew” his brother was involved in the deaths of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, because his shirt that night was covered in blood, and that Murdaugh could even be seen on police body camera footage wiping blood off his face onto the T-shirt.
Not only has the prosecution not introduced evidence of a bloody shirt at the disgraced attorney’s double-murder trial in Colleton County, but jurors have heard that blood could never be conclusively found on the clothes Murdaugh wore when he called 911 on the night of June 7, 2021.
