The trial of Alex Murdaugh, the son of a prominent South Carolina legal family, continued on Friday with the revelation of the last texts sent by Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, the victims of a double murder in January.
The prosecution suggested that evidence had been destroyed, while the defence argued that the evidence was inconclusive.
The trial has been ongoing for four days, with testimony from a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agent, who said that Paul’s friend had received five missed calls from Alex Murdaugh after the homicides.
The defence also presented a shocking statement from Alex Murdaugh, saying “I did him so bad”.
The trial is ongoing, and the final verdict is expected to be delivered soon.
