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.

      You don’t have to punctuate your comments with “just my opinion.” I can assure you, everyone knows it’s an opinion.

      The police have a massive domestic violence problem; themselves.

      The police also have a massive homophobia problem; themselves.

      Who would want them to march in solidarity with the victims when they are more likely to be the perpetrators and more likely to look out for each other and not properly investigate or take seriously their own crimes?

      We don’t want them marching with us because they are our enemy, we are not a PR opportunity for them.
