The family of a teenager who died in mysterious circumstances in 2015 have said they believe he was killed “somewhere else” before his body was “placed” in the middle of a road close to the infamous Murdaugh family’s home.

Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old openly gay teenager and nursing student, was found dead in a road in Hampton County, South Carolina, in the early hours of 8 July 2015 – just 15 miles from the Moselle estate where Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife Maggie and son Paul six years later.
