Police in southeastern Australia on Tuesday found two bodies after a male officer admitted to fatally shooting his male ex-lover and the ex-lover’s male companion.
Homicide detectives found the remains of 26-year-old former television reporter Jesse Baird and his 29-year-old flight attendant partner Luke Davies at a property near Bungonia, a town about 124 miles southwest of Sydney, ABC News Australia reported. They found the remains after Baird’s ex-partner, NSW Senior-Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon, admitted to murdering the pair and hiding their bodies under rocks and dirt, and divulged the location of their remains, according to the report.
“Today, this afternoon, detectives attached to Strike Force Ashfordby have located a second crime scene in Bungonia…and at that location we believe we have located two bodies,” New South Wales (NSW) Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters.
Lamarre-Condon, 28, fatally shot Baird and Davies at Baird’s home in Paddington, Sydney, sometime in the small hours of last Monday using his police-issued Glock pistol which he checked out a few days before, news.com.au reported. Lamarre-Condon reportedly turned himself in and faces two murder charges.

Lamarre-Condon initially yielded no information to the police following his arrest Friday, and the police initially searched a property where they suspected Lamarre-Condon dumped the bodies, the report noted. The police also searched various waterways as they suspected that Lamarre-Condon could have used weights he bought from a department store to sink the bodies, the Associated Press (AP) reported. Lamarre-Condon allegedly relocated the bodies by himself to the Bungonia property, suspecting that the acquaintance who helped transport the bodies to the first property could report him, according to ABC News Australia. However, the acquaintance reportedly did not know they were transporting bodies and was not an accomplice.
Authorities informed the families of the deceased of their findings and a specialist forensic investigation would take place, Webb reported

Isaac Muller, an ABC News Australia producer, told news.com.au Lamarre-Condon and Baird “were never going out” but “briefly” had an “encounter,”

“On behalf of the [NSW] Police Force, I’d like to pass on my condolences to the Davies and Baird families, their friends, and the LGBTQI+ communities in not just New South Wales but across Australia,” Webb said, according to the press conference footage.
Australia has strict gun ownership regulation, according to ABC News Australia. The procedures that aided Lamarre-Condon in checking out his pistol while off duty are reportedly under review.
I thought the below the zone mates surrendered all their guns so they wouldn’t shoot anybody anymore.
File this only “Only gay cops should have guns...like Australia!”
Sounds like everyone had a gay old time.
Love is love.
“Love is in the air....”
This seems so queer, somehow. There were that many loose guns left in Australia, that one was available to an officer off-duty??
This was one to definitely quit at the title.
Three dudes in “Bungonia”?
Australia used to be the only other place in the world I would ever consider living, but liberals have turned it into a hell hole starting with the confiscation of guns.
Friends will help you move.
Real friends will help you move bodies...
“Rule Number One: No Poofters!”
No bill of rights, either.
I knew someone would have to pick that up. Really? Bungonia. Sounds like a Marx Brothers punch line.
I was the same way. Australia has been removed from my travel bucket list.
As Ted Nugent once said “America sucks, but it sucks a whole lot less than everywhere else.”
Including your same-sex cop boyfriend...
“Only the police can be trusted with guns!”
LOL.
Homo cide.
