NSW Police confirm they have identified a body found in the state’s central west as that of Julian Ingram, an alleged “triple murderer” who had been on the run. Police say the discovery was made in dense bushland between Mount Hope and Euabolong, in an area covered by the ongoing search.
Multiple outlets report that the manhunt began in January after Ingram was accused of killing three people, including his heavily pregnant former partner. Authorities had searched large areas of remote terrain, including locations guided by sightings from members of the public. ABC reports police focus on those sighting-based search areas, but the body was located between the two main search zones.
ABC also notes police believe Ingram died “very shortly after” the triple murder, though the timing is presented as police assessment rather than a publicly detailed medical conclusion. Several outlets describe the body as “very decomposed” when found, and say identification followed investigation by NSW Police.
