By Updated 14 March 20263 articles from 3 independent sources

Consensus Summary

The articles cover a tragic murder case that occurred in Lake Cargelligo, NSW on January 22, where Julian Ingram allegedly shot and killed his ex-partner Sophie Quinn, her aunt Nerida Quinn, and her cousin John Harris. A 19-year-old man was also seriously injured in the attack. Ingram has been on the run for over 6 weeks since the incident, and the NSW government has offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The articles provide consensus facts around the identities of the victims, the injuries, and the ongoing police search, while also including some source-specific details such as the domestic violence history of the accused and the timeline of the investigation. There is a minor contradiction regarding the age of one of the victims.
