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.

        It’s a gay pride parade. I have lived a long life and gay rights is a storied history.
        Gays have always had to take the back seat. We don’t play that game anymore. We need healthy, open, out loud and proud people in all facets of society. We are everywhere. We are here, we’re queer, get used to it.
