Following a detailed play-by-play of his day leading up to the murders, Murdaugh became emotional on the stand, breaking down in tears and asking for water, before describing the moment he discovered the bodies of his wife and son.

Through tears, Murdaugh recalled his shock and desperation at the scene, saying he touched both bodies to check for signs of life and to return his son Paul’s phone to his pocket after it had fallen out.

Defense attorneys played back the 911 call from the evening of the murders as Murdaugh listened in to his own voice, often looking downward and shaking.
