Disgraced former lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been sentenced to life in prison, a day after being convicted of murdering his wife and son.
Judge Clifton Newman gave Murdaugh two life sentences at a hearing in Walterboro, South Carolina. They will be served consecutively.
Mr Newman called the case “one of the most troubling” he had seen.
Murdaugh spoke briefly in court twice, to maintain his innocence.
