Police have revealed they've discovered two bodies who they believe to be TV presenter Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.

The TV presenter for Australia's Network 10 morning show Studio 10 and Qantas flight attendant were last seen on February 18 before a 'significant' amount of blood was found at Baird's home and the pair's bloodied belongings were also located in a skip in Cronulla, Sydney.

New South Wales Police Force senior constable Beaumont Lamarre-Condon - Baird’s ex-boyfriend - later handed himself in and was charged with the murders of Baird and Davies.

He's also reported as having 'provided assistance' in locating the couple's remains.

In a press conference, NSW police commissioner Karen Webb has since confirmed authorities' discovery of two sets of human remains in the south-west of Sydney earlier today (27 February), believed to be the missing couple.

She said: "We believe we have located two bodies. The families have been informed. And crime scene detectives have just arrived on scene at that location now."

According to Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty, the bodies were discovered in two surf bags in a property in the town of Bungonia.

He added: "They were covered in debris and the state of the bodies won’t be known until we do a proper crime scene investigation, and from there we’ll be able to have a post-mortem conducted as well."

Baird worked for Network 10.

New South Wales police's full statement reads: "As part of the ongoing investigations under Strike Force Ashfordby, homicide detectives attended a correctional facility about 11am today (Tuesday 27 February 2024), and spoke to a 28-year-old man.

"Investigators subsequently attended a second property on Jerrara Road, Bungonia, about 1pm this afternoon. At the property, human remains were located, and a crime scene was established, which is being forensically examined.

"While the bodies are yet to be formally identified, they are believed to be that of Luke Davies and Jesse Baird. A post-mortem examination will be conducted to confirm the cause of death.

"Investigations under Strike Force Asfordby continue."

The bodies have not yet been formally identified but are believed to be the couple, police say.

Police believe Baird and Davies were killed in Baird's home in Sydney last Monday (19 February) not long after attending a pre-Mardi Gras party.

Authorities allege that Lamarre-Condon killed the couple using a police-issued handgun - as the police officer reportedly failing to return his police-issued firearm to a locked firearms safe at a police station.

He then calling in sick on 20 February before turning himself in to his colleagues on Friday (February 23).

UNILAD has contacted New South Wales for further comment.
