1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: The news here is that two bodies have been found

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: in and around the Golden area by the detectives looking

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: for that Sydney couple Luke Davies and Jesse Baird. Obviously,

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: this is the crime which the new South Balest Police

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: alleged that a senior constable committed. He has been charged

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: with their murder, but the bodies were found before. In

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: two surfbags, we're going across to Zara James from nine

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: years whose freshman press conference with the new South Bass Police.

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Hizara, Hey, how are you? Ah?

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is all pretty tragic. It just continues

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: to get more and more tragic and the police are

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: sure that there are no other police involved with this.

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: Police have said that they are just focusing on one

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: person who has been charged with murder at this stage,

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: but obviously comes after the announcement just a short time

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: ago that the bodies of TV presenter Jesse Baird and

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: his boyfriend Blue Davis have been found. They've also said

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: done they've managed to inform the families of the true

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: men about this discovery. There's been obviously a painstaking investigation

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: at this point. They have been at this Bungonia property

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: for the past two days with investigators and divers, but

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: it was late this afternoon where they have since located

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: another area about twenty minutes away from the original search site,

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: where they've now confirmed that the body has been found.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Guys, why were the police looking in that area? Has

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: any information come out about that?

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Well, this has been a huge investigation and it's spanned

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: over quite a significant timeline from here in Sydney in Paddington,

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: the timeline stretches up to Newcastle and down to Bungonia.

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: There had been a white van allegedly spotted in the

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Bungonia area, but it wasn't until today when a senior

32
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: homicide detective was due to speak with the accused at

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: silver Water Jail, and it is understood police alleged that

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: he told this detective where these bodies would be.

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Right, So the guy that they have charged with murderers

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: is the one who is leading them to the bodies.

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Is that right?

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what police were alleging at this stage.

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Wow, that's a huge development. Obviously. Marty grad this

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: weekend as well as Zarah. Was there any mention about that.

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: I know there's been some discussion about the people running

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Marti Gras, saying that they want to ban police officers

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: from marching in uniform.

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. So last night the board of the Marty Grass

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: said that they had revoked the invitation to the New

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: South Wales Police who were supposed to be marching in

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: uniform at the Marti Gras. This is a tradition that

48
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: had been running for twenty years. They stated some reasons

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: why this invitation had been reposed, you know, the general

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: feeling and the general feeling ability for people to grieve.

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: And since then last night the newse Off Police Commissioner,

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: she released a statement saying that she was disappointed by

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: this and we understand that her along with the board

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: had been meeting later today and we are soon to

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: receive some updates on that.

56
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: Cool. Wow, that is an absolute melting pot ahead of

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Marti Gras. Tragic as well, obviously this whole thing, there's

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: just so much sadness. So thank you so much for

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: joining us. Love to hear from you. From Channel nine.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: There Zara James with an update. Those two bodies are yeah,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: found by the detective searching for Sydney couple of Luke

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Davies and Jesse Baird in Bongonia, a couple of hours

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: south of Sydney, as you just heard there. We're going

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: to have an update on that a bit later on,

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: particularly in and around the Marti Grash factor and whether

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: or not police will be allowed to march. So obviously,

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: as I said, a bit of a melting pot in

68
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: terms of opinions, history and now the personal factor as well,

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: So a whole lot to talk about in and around

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: what should be a very proud celebration for a lot

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: of people lumped in with a really tragic event. So yeah,

72
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: we'll cover that as the show goes on. I hope

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: you're having a great drive home. It's with money
