Police officer arrested amid search for missing men
A police officer has turned himself in over the suspicious disappearance of two men.
Former Network Ten presenter 26-year-old Jesse Baird and his boyfriend 29-year-old Luke Davies were last seen on Monday, with police launching an extensive investigation into their disappearance.
On Thursday, officers called for Constable Beau Lamarre to come forward as part of the investigation, believing he could hold valuable information.
Now, on Friday morning, the celebrity blogger turned police officer presented at Bondi Police Station where he was arrested.
The man was then taken to Waverley Police Station where he is assisting with inquiries, police said.
During a press conference on Friday afternoon, a lead investigator confirmed the young officer has been charged with two counts of murder, while adding the families of the young men have been told the investigation is being treated as a homicide.
Lamarre is an ex-partner of Baird and was a former celebrity blogger before joining NSW Police in 2020.
Online the 28-year-old would often go by the pseudonym Beau London, creating accounts on social media and a celebrity blog page titled That's The Tea, where he posted selfies alongside celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift.
An investigation began into Baird and Davies' disappearance after number of their personal items, including a watch, clothes, credit cards and keys were found by a worker in Club Cronulla, with blood stains present on the items.
Police have also searched two homes during their investigation - one in Balmain and one in Paddington - with officers "immediately" establishing a crime scene at the Paddington home after finding blood spatters.
According to officers, a “significant” amount of blood consistent with a fatality and signs of a struggle were discovered inside Mr Baird’s Paddington home on Thursday afternoon.
