An Australian police officer has been charged with the double murder of a TV presenter and his flight attendant boyfriend, whose bodies have yet to be found.
Beau Lamarre, a 28-year-old serving police constable, was detained after a high-profile three-day search across Sydney, Det Supt Danny Doherty said.
Earlier this week, the chance discovery of bloodied clothes in a suburban rubbish bin led detectives to the home of former red carpet host and entertainment journalist Jesse Baird, 26.
On searching Mr Baird’s inner-city flat, detectives said they found “a large amount of blood” and held “grave concerns” for both him and his boyfriend, Luke Davies, a 29-year-old Qantas flight attendant. Both are presumed dead.
