The 26-year-old surviving son of double-murderer Alex Murdaugh released a statement Monday saying that speculation ‘has gone on far too long.’
Buster, who supported his doomed father every day during his trial last month, said he wanted privacy to ‘grieve over the brutal murders of my mother and brother.’
He wrote: ‘I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family. I request that the media immediately stop publishing these defamatory comments and rumours about me.’
It comes after Smith’s family announced last week that the body of the 19-year-old nursing student would be exhumed for a private autopsy.
