Lake Cargelligo triple-killer Julian Ingram found dead in western NSW

By ASHLEY NICKEL, NEWS REPORTER, AUSTRALIA Published: 08:10, 11 May 2026 | Updated: 08:28, 11 May 2026 The body of Lake Cargelligo murderer Julian Ingram has been found. Ingram, 37, fled the Lake Cargelligo region, in central west NSW, on on January 22 after shooting his pregnant former partner Sophie Quinn, 25, her friend John Harris, 32, and her aunt Nerida Quinn, 50. A body was found at Roundhill Nature Reserve, northeast of Lake Cargelligo, about 3.30pm on Monday. It is believed to be the remains of Ingram. It's understood the body was found next to a Ford Ranger utility with NSW registration DM07GZ - the ute Ingram fled in.  Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland, Western Region Commander, will address a press conference at 5.30pm.  Officers searched Mount Hope in the days after the shootings following reported sights of Ingram in the area. A $250,000 reward was announced in March for information that led to his arrest. Ingram - also known as Pierpoint-Ingram - had already been hit with six apprehended violence orders to protect five people, including Ms Quinn, and had previously pleaded guilty to assaulting another woman in Griffith. He was granted bail by local police following his arrest in November because his charges did not meet the threshold for 'serious' DV offences.  Transcripts from his court appearance in December, obtained by the Daily Mail, show his bail was continued by Magistrate Michael Maher without any mention of his criminal history, or any potential danger to Ms Quinn.  Ingram was able to leave the court and continue complying with his bail conditions, which involved reporting daily to Lake Cargelligo police. He was not allowed to follow, assault, threaten, stalk, or harass Ms Quinn or anyone she had a relationship with. He was also banned from destroying her property or harming her animals, or being in the company of certain people 12 hours after consuming alcohol or taking illicit drugs.
