SHOT 'EXECUTION STYLE': Mother & Son From Prominent —& Controversial — Family Are Killed in Double Homicide at Their Hunting Lodge

Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were a mother and son from a prominent South Carolina family who were found shot to death at the family’s Colleton County hunting lodge, “Moselle.” The family’s law firm confirmed their deaths on June 8, 2021.

Paul Murdaugh was a controversial figure who was involved in a 2019 fatal boating accident that took the life of Mallory Beach, 19. Murdaugh, 21, was from Hampton, South Carolina.

The Murdaughs are a powerful legal family in South Carolina. The State newspaper described the family as representing “power, justice, and big money” for nearly a century. The hunting lodge is located in Islandton, South Carolina.

The two were shot “execution style” in a premeditated “very ugly” scene, Fits News reported.

The suspect or suspects are not clear; neither is the motive, authorities said.

Sounds like someone(s) were tired of a mafia-type family having so much power in their state......???

Revenge for the boating accident.

I'm sure there's a LOT more about that then we're getting. I know about prominent, powerful families in rural counties.
