Alex Murdaugh Sports Shaved Head in Newly Released Mugshot
The convicted double murderer’s photo replaced a previous shot that didn’t meet quality standards.
South Carolina Dept of Corrections
Alex Murdaugh sports a freshly shaved head in his new mugshot released Wednesday by the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The photo was snapped just days after he was convicted for the brutal double murder of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. The CDOC said the new photo was taken because “the quality of the initial one wasn’t as good as it should have been.” Murdaugh was captured with a fresh buzzcut and a white shirt underneath his yellow prison uniform. He is currently at the Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center, where all male inmates are sent after sentencing and where he will spend 45 days undergoing “medical tests, mental health, and education assessments” before heading to one of the state’s “maximum-security prisons, like all new inmates serving life sentences,” a South Carolina Department of Corrections spokesperson previously told The Daily Beast.
