Three more people have been charged in connection with the alleged murder of a 23-year-old woman.
Emergency services were called to a home on Ziegler Avenue in Kooringal, Wagga Wagga, in the Riverina region of NSW, at 11.45am on September 19.
Paramedics found 23-year-old Danielle Madgwick inside the home suffering from multiple stab wounds to her upper body.
She died at the scene despite efforts by paramedics to save her.
A 31-year-old man, who was allegedly Danielle’s partner, was arrested just after 8pm the same day and charged with murder. He remains before the courts.
Following an extensive seven-week investigation into Ms Madgwick’s murder, detectives from Strike Force Ralore raided a home on Ziegler Avenue on Saturday.
Two men, aged 18 and 56, were arrested along with a 53-year-old woman.
The three people were allegedly known to Ms Madgwick and have each been charged with one count of accessory after the fact to murder (DV).

The trio were refused bail and are due to face Wagga Wagga Local Court on December 23.
A GoFundMe has been launched to help raise funds for a plaque and mural in Ms Madgwick’s honour.
‘The brightest star in the sky. Taken way too soon from domestic violence at 23-years old… by the person she loved, treasured and moved to Wagga for,’ the GoFundMe reads.
‘This beautiful girl never had a chance to live her life, have children, get married, or allow her family to see her reach her goals like a young woman should.
‘Her life was taken away from her too soon and we don’t want her ever to be forgotten.’
The fundraiser hopes to raise money to create a plaque and mural in Wagga Wagga where her friends and family can ‘bring flowers, and show her love’.
‘Say no to domestic violence. It’s never okay. We will never be the same without you Danielle.’
The fundraiser also hopes to raise money for Ms Madgwick’s grieving family and to support domestic violence charities.
A 31-year-old man, allegedly her partner, was charged with her murder. Police have since charged two men, aged 18 and 56, and a 53-year-old woman with accessory to murder
One friend told a media outlet she was looking forward to building a new life and future.
‘Dani was an incredibly lovely, beautiful soul – kind beyond words,’ the friend said.
‘She was thoughtful, loving, honest and so caring. She helped her mother a lot at home, raising her younger siblings. She would do anything for anyone.’
Australian Femicide Watch, an advocacy group that tracks homicides of women and children, said Ms Madgwick was the 50th woman killed this year.
