Alex Murdaugh’s younger brother took the stand on Monday, tearfully describing how he cleaned the gruesome crime scene the morning after his sister-in-law and nephew were murdered in June 2021: “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
“No mother, father, aunt, or uncle should ever have to see and do what I did that day,” John Marvin Murdaugh, the defense team’s final witness, told Colleton County jurors on Monday about his decision to clean his brother’s hunting estate. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
“I felt like it was the right thing to do. I felt like I owed [Paul]. And I just started cleaning,” he said about his decision to clean the feed room, while Murdaugh looked down and began to cry several feet away at the defense table. “All marriages, I’m sure, have hiccups here and there, but I’m telling you it was a good marriage,” he said. “Anything that the boys were doing, Alex wanted to do.”, Murdaugh’s only surviving son, briefly took the stand last week about his nuclear family dynamics, noting that while the four of them were close there were tensions surrounding his father’s decades-long addiction to opioids.
“I didn’t think it was a credible threat—if it was, I would have tried to do something or notify someone,” he said in the 2021 interview. “But I guess maybe I made a mistake.”
