Alex Murdaugh told a state agent that he asked a friend to fatally shoot him but that the friend failed in his attempt
That ruined Murdaugh's plan to make his death look like a robbery or revenge killing so his surviving son could collect his $10 million life insurance policy, according to an interview with Murdaugh and that the state agent played Thursday at this trial.
“I told him this was getting ready to get really bad and I would be better off not here and I asked him to shoot me,” Murdaugh said.“At first he was a little surprised and then he said ‘OK,’” Murdaugh said. Murdaugh first said he was shot by someone passing by as he tried to change the tire, even describing the alleged assailant in detail so a state agent could create a composite drawing.Kelly told Murdaugh several times that he couldn't believe he didn't pay Smith to kill him. Murdaugh insisted it was a favor.
Much of the focus of the questioning was about Paul Murdaugh's wounds, especially the second fatal shot that traveled at a steeper, upward angle from just above his waist and through his head.
