Three family members charged as accessories in Wagga stabbing death
Family members of the man accused of murdering 23-year-old Danielle Madgwick have been charged as accessories after the fact.
Madgwick was found stabbed multiple times at a Wagga Wagga home on 19 September and died at the scene. Adam Mark Perrim, her alleged partner, was arrested that evening and charged with domestic violence murder.
NSW Police then raided the same house over the weekend and arrested Perrim's brother Bailey, father George Maxwell Richard Perrim, and mother Julie Ann Collins. All three were charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder.
Police will allege they knew Madgwick. The trio appeared in court and was refused bail, with the case to return 23 December.
