Overview
- NSW Police on Wednesday confirmed the body found Monday beside a white Ford Ranger at Round Hill Nature Reserve was 37-year-old Julian Ingram.
- National parks workers discovered the abandoned ute with Ingram’s driver’s licence inside, a firearm next to a very decomposed body, and clothing consistent with what he wore on January 22.
- The body has been removed for a post-mortem in Newcastle on Friday, with forensic work underway on the vehicle and two guns in Orange.
- Detectives believe Ingram died by a self-inflicted gunshot very shortly after the January 22 shootings, with the body located between two main search areas and no clear signs of assistance.
- Ingram was accused of killing his pregnant ex-partner Sophie Quinn, her aunt Nerida Quinn and John Harris in Lake Cargelligo, and the confirmed identification brings relief to locals as a review continues into his pre-incident bail and police handling.
