The second-year medical student accused of murdering an erotic masseuse with a bullet to her heart is $130,000 in debt and has been awarded a taxpayer-paid defense attorney, according to court records.

Philip Markoff, 23, does not receive money from his parents and has been living off his student loans while attending Boston University, according to a court document in Boston Municipal Court. Markoff is now suspended from BU.

"(Markoff) stated he did not receive financial support from his family. (Markoff) further stated he was unemployed for a lengthy period of time and was essentially living off of student loans in the amount of $130,000,” according to an April 23 document signed by a probation officer.

The officer interviewed Markoff on April 21 and wrote that he signed an indigency form. That same day, the Committee for Public Counsel Services appointed attorney John Salsberg to represent Markoff.
