FAIRMONT, W.Va. (WBOY) — Forty people were indicted by a Grand Jury in Marion County this month, including those accused of first-degree murder and child neglect creating risk or death.

Michael Murphy

Michael Llyod Murphy, 69 of Fairmont, was indicted for allegedly murdering his son in October 2022. A criminal complaint filed against Murphy when he was arrested said that he “did willfully, deliberately and with premeditation shoot and kill his adult son.” The shooting happened at Murphy’s home on Mill Fall Road in Fairmont.
