Murdaugh said he believed that someone upset over the death of 19\u002Dyear\u002Dold Mallory Beach in a 2019 boating accident sought revenge on his son.
Murdaugh offered the theory, for which he acknowledged he had no evidence, after hours of cross examination during which a prosecutor laid out a string of lies told by the defendant, including about his alibi on the night of the killings.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“The person or people who did what I saw on June the 7th – they hated Paul and they had anger in their heart,” he said, alternately using the nickname Paw Paw to refer to his son. “I believe that boat wreck is the reason Paw Paw and Maggie were killed.” Murdaugh said he lied to investigators about his whereabouts due to his distrust of the police and “paranoid thoughts” tied to a years-long addiction to opioids.
Murdaugh has acknowledged stealing huge sums of money from his law partners and clients, partly to fund his drug habit.
