Maggie Murdaugh death: How did Alex Murdaugh murder his wife?

Alex has been detained for months on more than 80 financial crime-related offenses.

Attorney General Alan Wilson commended law enforcement and his team for their efforts during the inquiry but stated that because this is an ongoing matter, his office is unable to comment on specifics.

According to the indictment against Alex, he fatally shot Paul with a shotgun and Maggie with a rifle.

Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, Alex’s attorneys, contest that he killed his wife and son.

“Alex wants everyone to know that he had nothing to do with the killings of Maggie and Paul.

This includes his family, friends, and anyone else. More than anything, he was in love with them “a written declaration read.
