Embattled legal scion Alex Murdaugh has been charged with the double murder of his wife and son, more than a year after their brutal slayings kicked off a dramatic fall from grace for the patriarch of a powerful South Carolina dynasty.
A Colleton County grand jury indicted Mr Murdaugh on Thursday morning for two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in the deaths of his wife Maggie and his son Paul back on 7 June 2021.
