An Australian police officer is facing two murder charges after allegedly killing his former boyfriend and his new partner and disposing of their bodies, which are yet to be found. <\/p>\n

New South Wales police officer Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, 28, appeared in court on Friday afternoon charged with the murders of Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29. <\/p>\n

The couple was last seen at Baird\u2019s home in the eastern Sydney suburb of Paddington on Monday, and fears for their safety rose after their bloodied belongings were found in a skip in Cronulla, around 30 kilometers (18 miles) away. <\/p>\n

NSW Police Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty told reporters at a news briefing Friday that blood was also found in a search of Baird\u2019s home, as well as\u00a0a \u201cprojectile\u201d and a fired cartridge case. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis has now been ballistically matched to a New South Wales Police firearm \u2026 and that firearm belongs to the 28-year-old man who was charged today,\u201d Doherty said. <\/p>\n

Police said in a statement that the off-duty officer charged was a senior constable attached to a specialist command. <\/p>\n

An NSW Court spokesperson confirmed Lamarre-Condon had appeared in Waverley court Friday charged with two counts of murder. He didn\u2019t apply for bail. <\/p>\n

Police said the officer was arrested when he attended Bondi Police Station on Friday morning after his name was published in local media. <\/p>\n

Baird was a former television presenter with Network 10, and\u00a0Davies was a flight attendant, according to local media reports. <\/p>\n

Lamarre-Condon had reportedly been in a relationship with Baird, and while Doherty wouldn\u2019t comment on a potential motive, he said a line of investigation will include whether it was a \u201cdomestic-style incident.\u201d <\/p>\n

Neighbors had come forward to report hearing a loud argument early Monday morning. <\/p>\n

Doherty said it will be alleged that Lamarre-Condon hired a van later Monday that was used to dispose of the bodies. The van was located on Friday morning, but police have not revealed what was found inside. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re appealing for public help to track the movements of the van between Monday and Friday morning. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really important we get the movements in relation to that van, as hopefully we can find the bodies and this is important for the family,\u201d Doherty said. \u201cThey\u2019re obviously devastated by the news.\u201d <\/p>\n

Doherty also said finding the bodies would shed more light on how the men died. <\/p>\n\n
