Australian police officer charged with murder of TV host and his boyfriend
A policeman has been charged with murdering Australian TV personality Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies. On 23 February, Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, who was Baird’s ex-boyfriend, handed himself into Sydney Police and was charged with two counts of murder.
That day he also appeared in Waverley Local Court, where he is reported to have shown no emotion as the charges against him were read out.
According to court documents, the two men were allegedly murdered between 12:01am and 5:30pm on 19 February and a “significant” amount of blood was found at Baird’s home in Paddington.
Neighbours reportedly heard a “verbal argument” that morning. Police have alleged that the bodies were then moved in a rented van that has been captured on CCTV footage the same evening.
