00:02About 11.45 a.m. on Saturday the 19th of September 2020-26, police were called to an
00:09address on Ziegler Avenue at Karingal where 23-year-old Danielle Madrick was found suffering
00:14a number of stab wounds and she unfortunately passed away at that scene. A crime scene was
00:20established and officers attached to River in a police district formed Strikeforce Ray Law to
00:25investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. At 8 p.m. that same day, a 31-year-old
00:31man, believed to be her partner, was arrested and charged with murder. He remains before
00:36the courts. Following extensive investigations over the past seven weeks, Riverina Detectives
00:42executed a search warrant at a home on Ziegler Avenue this Saturday on the 7th of November
00:482026. At that location, two men aged 18 and 56, along with a 53-year-old female, were arrested.
00:57They were taken to Wagga Wagga police station and each has been charged as an accessory after
01:01the fact of murder. They've been bail refused to appear before courts in mid-December.
01:07Strikeforce Ray Law continued beyond that day and over the past several weeks we've accumulated a large
01:13amount of evidence and we will suggest and allege that these parties were accessories after that fact
01:19to the DV murder. Our inquiries have revealed that Danielle was residing at that address in the
01:25months preceding her unfortunate death and prior to that she was from the central west area before
01:32coming to Wagga Wagga and residing at her home. I think statistics show that every three minutes
01:39New South Wales Police attend one domestic violence incident every three minutes. So
01:44it's a complex issue, there's no single solution. It's something we need to work together with
01:49government, private organisations, external stakeholders to come up with some strategies
01:53to reduce domestic and family violence. No one should suffer in silence so that would be my message
01:59today that if you're a victim of family domestic violence or if you're a witness to family domestic
02:04violence please reach out to New South Wales Police. Allow us to react in a professional
02:11and personal manner and deal with the situation appropriately.
02:34it's something we need to do for us to make sure that you're going to go through.
