Family members of a man accused of the domestic‑violence murder of 23‑year‑old Danielle Madgwick have been charged with being accessories after the fact, the Guardian reported.
Emergency services were called to a Wagga Wagga home on the morning of 19 September. Responders found Madgwick suffering multiple stab wounds to her upper body and she died at the scene.
The alleged killing occurred in south‑western New South Wales. Police have now charged relatives of the accused with assisting the suspect after the crime, adding another layer to the investigation into the fatal stabbing.
Why it matters
The charges illustrate that authorities are extending legal action to those who may have helped conceal a domestic‑violence homicide.
