It has only been two weeks since Alex Murdaugh was convicted of killing his mother and son but already questions are swirling: who on earth will buy the $4million farm where the brutal slayings took place? The property, which was listed by Crosby Land and Co, this week, belongs to a long list of America's most popular'murder homes' - properties that are difficult to sell due to their tragic histories. Such houses are often thought of as'stigmatized' homes, and experts predict they'll see a 15 percent decline in value - which will take up to 25 years to recover from. Many are compelled to change their addresses in an attempt to erase their eerie pasts.

Felise Kaufusi's brutal assault on Jackson Hastings has been described as 'the cheapest shot in the game,' by NRL legend Andrew Johns, but Maroons great Billy Slater believes the Dolphins star has ground to fight the charge.
