Three Charged After Wagga Search in Danielle Madgwick Murder Probe

NSW Police say the arrests follow evidence gathered under Strike Force Ralore and expand their inquiry into a domestic-violence-related killing.

Overview

  • Danielle Madgwick, 23, was found with multiple stab wounds at a Kooringal home on September 19 and died at the scene despite paramedics' efforts.
  • A 31-year-old man, reported to be her partner, was arrested on the day of the killing and has been charged with domestic violence murder and remains before the courts.
  • Police executed a search warrant at a Wagga house and on Saturday arrested two men, aged 18 and 56, and a 53-year-old woman, who have all been charged as accessories after the fact and were refused bail.
  • The three newly charged people are due to appear in Wagga Local Court on December 23 and face separate legal consequences from the principal murder charge.
  • Counting Dead Women Australia records 41 women killed so far in 2026 and investigators say this case is one of several suspected domestic-violence deaths that weekend, a pattern likely to intensify public and policy scrutiny of responses to violence against women.
