However, his actual date of birth has not come to the surface yet, Buster was 3 years older than his sibling late Paul Murdaugh.
Buster’s life turned upside down at the age of 24 years old in 2021 when his mother Maggie and his younger sibling Paul lost their lives at their family estate in South Carolina. His father was accused of the crime and recently convicted following a two-month-long trial, according to CNN.
Growing up as part of one of the most affluent families in South Carolina, Buster was introduced to luxuries from childhood. Images of him cruising around on private Yachts and hunting in their family properties are available on Maggie’s Facebook profile.
