The bodies of a young Sydney couple remain missing two days after police charged a man with their murder.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon a police officer, handed himself in on Friday and was later charged with two counts of murder, following the disappearance of former Ten reporter Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29.

Lamarre-Condon did not make a bail application at Waverley Local Court and his matter was next set down for April 23 in Downing Centre Local Court.

Police are continuing to probe where the bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies could be located.

The couple’s disappearance was considered suspicious when possessions belonging to both of them were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla on Wednesday.

The discovery led police to Mr Baird’s blood-smeared share house, about 30km away in inner-city Paddington.

On Saturday, mourners laid floral tributes outside the Paddington terrace where police allege the murders took place.

Mr Baird’s former Network 10 colleagues took to social media to pay their respects while the AFL, who he was recently acting as an umpire for, issued a statement.

Independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwhich called for a review of police training when it comes to matters concerning the LGBTQI community.

“The police urgently need to do more to make sure the LGBTQI community is safe in NSW and confident in reporting crime,” he said on Saturday.

“”We need a review of police training when it comes to LGBTQI issues (and) that needs to be delivered in a co-designed way with LGBTQI communities.”
