Australian police found two bodies while looking for Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, a missing couple from Sydney.
Karen Webb, the police chief of New South Wales, stated that she is convinced they have discovered Luke and Jesse.
Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, a police officer who used to go out with TV presenter Mr Baird, was recently accused of murder.
The bodies were found in a country side area in the town of Bungonia.
The police said that Mr. Lamarre-Condon didn’t want to help at first,but then he told them where the two bodies were on Tuesday morning.
Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said the bodies were found close to the property’s entrance and someone tried to hide them under rocks and debris.
Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said that the police think two “surf bags” were used to carry the dead couple in a white van from Mr. Baird’s house in Paddington, where they were probably murdered.
Investigators discovered a bullet from Mr. Lamarre-Condon’s work gun at the scene last week. They also found a lot of blood and furniture that had been turned over.
Mr Lamarre-Condon went to court on Friday but was not allowed to leave until his next court date. He has not said anything about the reasons why he was charged. He started working as a police officer in 2019 and used to be a famous blogger.
Police started paying attention to the Bungonia property, which is about two hours south of Sydney. They learned that Mr. Lamarre-Condon had gone there in a white van, which is believed to have the bodies of the pair along with an acquaintance last Wednesday.
Mr Lamarre-Condon cut the lock on a gate, left the woman there, and drove away in a van. He came back 30 minutes later, according to the police.
The crime, which has shocked Australia, is thought to be the first suspected murder by a New South Wales police officer in many years. This has led to an investigation into when officers can use their guns outside of work hours.
The Mardi Gras parade organizers in Sydney have decided not to invite the NSW police to this year’s march. This decision has caused a lot of strong opinions on the internet and the police are also upset. They say the murders were not related to hating gay people but were a crime done out of strong emotions.
Sydney’s Mardi Gras parade has a long history that involves LGBTQ+ activism and police violence. In1978, the first march led to many people being beaten and arrested by the police.
In the last few years, it has become a event that brings people together, with police officers participating every year since 1998.
Many people have shared their kind words for Mr. Baird, a former TV host and reporter, and Mr. Davies, who was a flight attendant for Qantas.
Commissioner Webb said that Jesse and Luke were very involved in the community and he can see from their online photos that they had a good life.
