An Australian newsreader became emotional as she broke the news that a man had been arrested in connection with the murder of one of her colleagues and his partner.

Narelda Jacobs from Aussie’s Channel 10, gave the breaking news bulletin as police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon was charged with murdering missing TV presenter Jesse Baird, 26 and his boyfriend Luke Davies, 29.

Former host of Australian morning show Studio 10 Baird and his partner Davies were last seen on Monday (19 February) with a desperate search launching to find them.

Police found clothes belonging to them bloodied and in a skip and said their families had been ‘unable to contact’ either of the men.

A public appeal for information was issued on Wednesday by New South Wales Police Force following the discovery of their clothes.

Police allege that the 28-year-old shot the couple with his police pistol at Baird’s home in Paddington, Sydney.

The couple were last seen at a party.

Police allege Lamarre-Condon hired a white van on Monday evening, which he used to dispose of their bodies.
