Found Deceased Australia - Jesse Baird, 26, TV presenter and partner Luke Davies, 29. blood located at home, 23 Feb 2024 *arrest*

[Skyboy90]

They didn't say only one bullet was found
One gun (police issued gun)
Multiple bullets
They have determined both men were shot and sustained gun wound injuries
Cause of death still to be determined as they may not have died immediately from gun shot wound injuries
There was also indication of a struggle given the movement of furniture, and blood throughout

My apologies. I thought I heard one projectile was only used.

The old " If I can't have you , no-one else will"

I'm surprised he actually didn't self harm himself.

Me too actually but maybe he’s too much of a narcissist to do that.

 

[drsleuth]

He wasn’t on leave Monday. They believe murder was Monday and he then didn’t work Tuesday. The gun was located in a police firearm locker.

So are they thinking the murder/s were whilst he was on duty when he had a gun?

Or did he have the gun when he was off duty & returned it , but how did he have access to it ??

So many Q's,

My apologies. I thought I heard one projectile was only used.

I read it that way as well.

True , he seems to very much like attention & this has certainly given him that, but all for what?

Exactly… so that his ex couldn’t be happy I guess.

Officer charged - Strike Force Ashfordby​

***Please note arrest vision will be provided when available***


An off-duty police officer has been charged with two counts of murder following an investigation into the suspicious disappearance of two men in the Eastern Suburbs.


Strike Force Ashfordby was formed by detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad after possessions belonging to the missing men were found in a skip bin on Wilbar Avenue at Cronulla on Wednesday morning (21 February 2024).

As part of inquiries detectives arrested a 28-year-old man – a senior constable attached to a specialist command - after he attended Bondi Police Station about 10.30am today (Friday 23 February 2024).

He was transferred to Waverley Police Station and charged with two counts of murder.
The man was refused bail to appear before Waverley Local Court today.
Inquiries under Strike Force Ashfordby continue.

Can we all imagine if this case were in the US - like in Los Angeles, or Miami? And if the initiative to capture him was named “Strike Force Ashfordby?”
What a sad case - two very bright lights, these two gentlemen.
MOO: This will be a Lifetime movie. Mark my words.

The bodies of the two murdered men are yet to be located but police are saying they believe Constable Beau Lamarre shot the pair in Paddington during the day on Monday then hired a van to move the bodies on Monday evening. They have found the van but not the bodies.

Police officer faces court for the first time charged with murder after Sydney couple disappears

Beau Lamarre-Condon has appeared before Waverley Local Court after he was charged with the murder of Luke Davies and Jesse Baird who disappeared under suspicious circumstances this week.

www.abc.net.au

Contrary to reporting, the police officer had not taken sick-leave during this week and was technically "still on duty," police say.

He had called in sick on Tuesday.

"I'm not sure of his roster. All I can say is he was on full operational duties and he took the day off on the Tuesday."

"We have established so far that sometime on Monday during the day that the likely murders happened," and then the van was then hired on Monday evening, Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said.

Very upsetting outcome for the loved ones of Jessie and Luke. I hope that their bodies are found soon.

Just disgusting and deranged behaviour of someone who should have been an upstanding member of society.

 

[Trublue21]

Such a beautiful couple. They seemed happy together. This is so sad. My condolences to their loved ones, they must be devastated.

Interesting point only one bullet was used. That lines up with the heavy blood that was found, I recall they only suspected one death at the start. So I assume the second male was not shot, cause of death for both might be different here.

They repeatedly said one projectile.

The fact that they found one projectile (if it's accurate) does not mean that other bullets weren't shot and aren't still lodged in the bodies.

If we want to go into semantics, I'm not sure they meant they found bullets (ie. gone through a body and exited) or they found one casing, which again could be explained by the guy trying to pick up the casings after the murder, and missing one.

They repeatedly said one projectile.

Agreed. "Police also located a projectile at the premises, which had been discharged, and also a fire cartridge case. This has now been ballistically matched to a New South Wales Police firearm". It sounds like currently only one projectile has been found.

Perpetrator faced court at 1400hrs today.

How police allege murders of TV presenter, boyfriend unfolded

Celebrity chaser and police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon will be charged with the murder of Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Lamarre-Condon, who is also well known as a celebrity chaser, vanished in the wake of the two men disappearing. He told his bosses he was going on sick leave and switched his phone off.

On Friday morning, as cops frantically searched for Lamarre-Condon and his rented white Toyota Hiace van, he handed himself in at Bondi Police Station at 10.30am.

A street in Lambton, Newcastle, 165km away from the Paddington crime scene, was sealed off by police on Friday after a white van was spotted in Karoola Road near Lambton Pool, which matched the description of the one being hunted.

'There's cops everywhere, walking the streets, door knocking,' said one local resident. 'Got the road closed past the pool.'

Another added: 'The park is taped off with police tape up near the bowling club and lots of police are walking the park at the moment.'

Lamarre-Condon is suspected to have driven the van, registration CW82PM, to a home in the Newcastle suburb where it was spotted at 10pm last night before it had vanished again by 2am.

Daily Mail Australia understands a close friend of Lamarre-Condon’s lives in Newcastle and he would visit regularly.

Between Cronulla and Lambton... That is a hell of a lot of coastline, and a hell of a lot of very rugged bush. I'm thinking of Mt White and the surrounding National Park area.

I agree alot of places, but my bet would be around the shire, maybe the Royal National Park area as he grew up in that area & would know it well IMO

I'm sure the cops are busy checking all the traffic cameras
