Australian Officer Charged with Murder of TV Host and Partner

The accused, a former lover, led police to the hidden bodies, sparking widespread shock and calls for police reform.

Australian police discovered the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, hidden under rocks and debris on a rural property, after receiving a tip from the accused, Senior-Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon.
The bodies were found in surfboard bags, which Lamarre-Condon allegedly used to transport them from Baird's Sydney home.
Lamarre-Condon, who had dated Baird until late last year, was charged with the murder of the couple but has not entered a plea.
The murder, allegedly committed with Lamarre-Condon's service pistol, has led to a review of police gun handling procedures and sparked national shock.
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organizers requested that police not participate in the upcoming parade, reflecting the community's grief and anger over the tragedy.
