Arabic version: توجيه اتهامات إلى ثلاثة أشخاص على خلفية جريمة قتل مزعومة في واغا واغا

According to The Guardian, three family members of a man accused of the domestic violence murder of Danielle Madgwick have been charged with being accessories after the fact to murder in Wagga Wagga, south-western New South Wales.

Emergency services were called to a Wagga Wagga home on the morning of 19 September, where they found Madgwick, 23, suffering multiple stab wounds to her upper body. She died at the scene.

Adam Mark Perrim, 31, who was alleged to be Madgwick’s partner, was arrested that evening and charged with domestic violence murder. He briefly appeared in court, did not apply for bail and was remanded to reappear on 18 November.

NSW police said they raided the same house over the weekend and arrested two men, aged 18 and 56, and a 53-year-old woman in connection with the alleged murder. Court documents identify them as Perrim’s brother, Bailey Perrim; his father, George Maxwell Richard Perrim; and his mother, Julie Ann Collins.

The three were taken to Wagga Wagga police station and each charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. They appeared in court on Saturday for a committal hearing, were refused bail and are due to next appear on 23 December. Police will allege all three knew Madgwick.

Madgwick’s death was one of three separate cases across the state investigated as domestic violence-related homicides that weekend. The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, described the alleged crimes as “shocking” and said his thoughts were with the families and communities of the three women.
