A prominent South Carolina lawyer has been arrested after he admitted trying to stage his own murder. Alex Murdaugh, 53, gave himself up to police for allegedly ordering a hit on himself so his surviving son could collect a $10 million life insurance policy. He was charged with insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and filing a false police report in connection with the scheme.

His life began to unravel after the murders of his wife Margaret, 52, and son Paul, 22, near their home. He maintains he had no involvement in the fatal shootings, which remain unsolved.
