On Tuesday, Australian police, acting on a tip from a police officer accused of their murder, discovered the bodies of a TV presenter and his boyfriend, a flight attendant, in a rural area outside of Sydney.
"We are very confident we have located Luke and Jesse," Karen Webb, the police chief in New South Wales, stated. She also mentioned the families of the two victims had been informed with sadness and relief.
After nearly a week of intense searching, the bodies of entertainment journalist Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, have been found.
Two counts of murder have been brought against a 28-year-old police constable who was in a romantic relationship with Baird.

"This information did come with the assistance of the accused," claimed Webb.
According to police, the two were shot at a house in central Sydney before being put into surfboard bags and driven roughly two hours away to a rural property.
Ballistics analysis revealed that a projectile discovered at the apartment matched the characteristics of a gun issued by the police. The weapon was eventually discovered in a police station safe.
The murders, according to the police, were "of a domestic nature" rather than "gay hate crime."
Before joining the police force, the suspect was a blogger and a person who chased celebrities.
Numerous celebrities, such as Lady Gaga, Ben Stiller, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift, have been seen in his pictures.
After a video of the aggressive tasering of an Aboriginal man surfaced online in 2020, he was previously the subject of an investigation.
According to news reports from 2014, he came out as gay in front of the public by tossing a letter onstage during a Lady Gaga concert, which the singer read aloud to an audience that included his sister.
