Former prominent attorney Alex Murdaugh is being held in the Richland County Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday morning on charges he stole millions from an insurance payment meant for the sons of his family’s late housekeeper.
Alex Murdaugh is considered a person of interest in the death of his wife and son, according to his attorney. Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were shot and killed in June at the family’s estate in Colleton County. This comes as Murdaugh is under arrest for the second time in a month. He’s now accused of stealing settlement money from the family of his longtime housekeeper who died in 2018. At the time, Murdaugh said she died after tripping over the family dog at his home.
