A South Carolina father who decades ago was filmed discovering his son’s body is now charged with the 5-year-old’s murder, the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.
Victor Turner was arrested alongside his wife, Megan Turner, in Cross Hill in connection to the death of Justin Turner, deputies said. Speaking at a press conference Wednesday, Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said that Victor Turner had strangled his son in the early morning of March 3, 1989.
In the afternoon of that day, deputies responded to the family’s home in Moncks Corner. Victor Turner and his wife said at the time that they had not seen Justin leaving for or coming back from school, the deputies said.
According to a 2019 statement by the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, Justin planned to go to a nearby house to catch the school bus with a neighbor, but neighbors said that he never made it on the bus that morning.
