Police find bodies of Sydney couple allegedly killed by jilted police lover
Organizers of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras have asked police not to march at their annual parade this weekend due to the alleged murder of a couple by a police officer.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Police on Tuesday found the bodies of a couple allegedly shot dead by a jilted police officer lover.
Police on Tuesday discovered the bodies of former television reporter Jesse Baird, 26, and his flight attendant partner Luke Davies, 29, who were allegedly shot dead in Baird’s Sydney home on Monday last week.
The crime prompted Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organizers to ask police not to march at their annual parade this weekend, a decision the police commissioner said she would urge them to reconsider.
New South Wales Police Force Senior-Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon, who dated Baird until late last year, was charged on Friday with the murders of both men.

You don’t have to punctuate your comments with “just my opinion.” I can assure you, everyone knows it’s an opinion.
The police have a massive domestic violence problem; themselves.
The police also have a massive homophobia problem; themselves.
Who would want them to march in solidarity with the victims when they are more likely to be the perpetrators and more likely to look out for each other and not properly investigate or take seriously their own crimes?
We don't want them marching with us because they are our enemy, we are not a PR opportunity for them.
So if you are a gay police officer you no longer can be gay or count as a gay member of society? Just trying to understand your broad position.
Their sexuality takes a back seat to their participation in a violent organisation with a storied history of assaulting the LGBTQ community.
It’s a gay pride parade. I have lived a long life and gay rights is a storied history.
Gays have always had to take the back seat. We don’t play that game anymore. We need healthy, open, out loud and proud people in all facets of society. We are everywhere. We are here, we’re queer, get used to it.And police are still bashing us.
I think we let the NSW LGBT community decide, and they've decided they don't want these arseholes there.
We have met the enemy and it is us. Good luck mate.
Pride started as a riot against police violence, and continued every year after, in part, as a protest against it. It’s hardly appropriate to invite the police to participate in such an event, especially after one of their own participated in such violence against the LGBTQ community. 
Yep. That is definitely how it started.
Yep.
