Jesse Baird and Luke Davies knew their suspected murderer.
Human remains believed to belong to the couple were discovered on Feb. 27 after Beaumont Lamarre-Condon—a New South Wales police officer who has been charged with Baird and Davies’ murders—disclosed the location of the bodies.
According to the BBC, Lamarre-Condon—a 28-year-old senior constable who formerly dated Baird—turned himself into authorities on Feb. 23, four days after the couple were reported missing. At a crime scene set up at Baird’s house, police reportedly found a “projectile” matching that of Lamarre-Condon’s work-issued gun. He was subsequently charged with two counts of murder and remains in jail after being denied bail. He has likewise not entered a plea at this time.
Though he was in police custody for days prior to the bodies’ discovery, Lamarre-Condon did not disclose information to the police under legal counsel, according to local station 9 News. The outlet also reported that in the morning of Feb. 27, Lamarre-Condon changed his counsel, which is when he cooperated with the authorities.
E! News has attempted to reach legal counsel for Lamarre-Condon but has not been able to do so at this time.
