Family Charged in NSW Woman's Brutal Murder
9 Nov
Summary
- A 23-year-old woman died from stab wounds in Wagga Wagga.
- Her partner's family members are accused of aiding the alleged murder.
- The incident is part of a weekend of three domestic violence homicides.
In September 2026, Danielle Madgwick, aged 23, died from multiple stab wounds to her upper body at a home in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Emergency services discovered her at the scene. Later that evening, Adam Mark Perrim, believed to be Madgwick's partner, was arrested and charged with her domestic violence murder.
Following the initial arrest, police conducted further investigations. Over the weekend prior to November 4, 2026, officers raided the same Wagga Wagga residence. This led to the arrest of two men, aged 18 and 56, and a 53-year-old woman. They were subsequently charged with being accessories after the fact to murder, with court documents identifying them as Perrim's mother, father, and brother.
The New South Wales Premier, Chris Minns, described the alleged crimes as "shocking." Danielle Madgwick's death was one of three separate domestic violence-related homicides investigated across the state during that specific weekend. Her father recently paid a heartfelt tribute on social media, expressing his profound grief and cherishing memories of his daughter.
