The 54-year-old former lawyer kept his distinctive red hair for most of his murder trial. He stared coldly ahead while wearing a yellow jumpsuit in the latest mugshot, snapped after he was booked at South Carolina’s Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center.

Murdaugh’s wife Maggie and 22-year-old son Paul were found dead back in 2021 on a family property in Islandton, South Carolina. They had been shot with two different guns.

He was indicted last summer for the murders, but always maintained he was innocent. He had an alibi but that was blown up when prosecutors presented video and audio proving he was on the property moments, within earshot of Maggie and Paul, before the murders.
