Police find human remains at property in search for allegedly murdered couple Luke Davies and Jesse Baird

Police believe they have found the bodies of missing couple Luke Davies and Jesse Baird wrapped in surfboard bags about two hours from Sydney.

It is understood the remains were found on Tuesday afternoon at a property near Goulburn, in the Southern Tablelands, after police spoke to the man who stands charged with the two murders — 28-year-old NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon.

NSW Police have established a crime scene at the regional property in Bungonia.

Homicide squad detectives and other specialist police resources had searched bushland in the Royal National Park as well as the area near the childhood home of the pair’s alleged killer.

At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the families of the two men have been informed.

The Commissioner said police had been led to the location on Tuesday as a result of information given to detectives by the accused.

“We are very confident that we have located Luke and Jesse,” she said, adding that the investigation was far from over.

“This investigation will continue past this search now at the scene,” she added.

“Every lead and every piece of information has been valuable in getting to this point today.

“It has been a huge investigation.”

Homicide squad commander Det-Supt Danny Doherty told the press conference it would be alleged Mr Lamarre-Condon acted alone in the murders.

“This is a breakthrough for this investigation,” he said.

“There are two surf bags that have been found . . . and some other items of interest of significance was also located.

“We have just located the crime scene, it is still being examined.

“They are in surf bags . . . which will be alleged was used to transport the bodies.

“What we will allege is this 28-year-old man acted alone and he is the sole person responsible for the murders of Luke and Jesse.”

Mr Baird and Mr Davies have been missing for more than a week after they were last seen outside Mr Baird’s Paddington home.

A frantic search for the pair was triggered after bloodied items belonging to the pair were found in a skip in Cronulla before police established a crime scene after finding large bloodstains at the Paddington property.

Mr Lamarre-Condon was quickly identified as a suspect after it was revealed he and Mr Baird had dated and it did not end well.

He handed himself in to police on Friday morning before he was charged with two counts of murder.

Grisly details have since been revealed, including that the active police officer allegedly used his service weapon to kill the pair, and that he rented a van to dispose of the bodies.

The Toyota HiAce van allegedly rented by Mr Lamarre-Condon was later found in Grays Point, in Sydney’s Sutherland shire.

It was also revealed that Mr Lamarre-Condon allegedly bought an angle grinder and weights in the days following Mr Baird and Mr Davies’ last sighting.

But the main point of interest quickly became Royal National Park off Sir Bertram Stevens Drive following “new information” obtained by police.

Commissioner Webb confirmed on Tuesday that the search, which has stretched from Sydney’s inner west to Newcastle and Goulburn, had widened.

She said police divers had wrapped up their dive in a dam at Bungonia overnight but that police were still “onsite conducting line searches in and around the area”.

“We believe there’s still evidence in that area that might link the murders and the victims to that scene,” she told Nine.
