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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

Police said Lamarre provided them with information early Tuesday that led them to the bodies, which were found in a rural area around 200 kilometers (124 miles) southwest of Sydney.

“The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Board feels that having the NSW Police march this year could add to the distress within our communities, already deeply affected by recent events.

Police Commissioner Karen Webb, who has taken part in the annual march since 2006, said she would meet with the organizers on Tuesday to urge the board to reconsider its decision.

Independent state lawmaker and gay activist Alex Greenwich agreed with Webb that police should be allowed to march.

State Premier Chris Minns said he hoped police would be allowed to march, but ruled out withdrawing government funding.
