Maggie & Paul Murdaugh

Partners & family

Maggie Murdaugh and her son Paul were shot and killed at the family’s South Carolina property in June 2021. Alex Murdaugh’s 2023 murder convictions were set aside in May 2026 and a retrial was ordered. At the October 16, 2026 hearing, the court allowed additional defense DNA testing ahead of the scheduled April 2027 retrial. His separate financial-crime sentences remain in effect.
