Organizers of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras have asked police not to march at their annual parade this weekend due to the alleged murder of a couple by a police officer.

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.

        I believe I poorly phrased my comment (-> tired) and had it deleted. So how you could still read it I do not know. I do not intent to argue anyway, I did not mean to upset anyone.

          Yet here you are, arguing rather than just letting it go.

          Your comments keep getting deleted. That should communicate to you that they are unwelcome here. I suggest that you simply stop.
