In Australia, alleged killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon will fight charges that he murdered his former partner and the man’s new boyfriend.
It comes more than a year and a half after the brutal alleged killings.
Lamarre-Condon, 29, was charged with the murder of Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird and Baird’sboyfriend, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of using his police firearm to kill the couple at a house in the Sydney suburb of Paddington before placing their bodies in surfboard bags and taking them to a remote property in the New South Wales southern tablelands last February.
Lamarre-Condon appeared in court through an audiovisual link on Tuesday morning to enter not guilty pleas, with his mother, Coleen Lamarre, arriving in court to support her son.

He was arrested last February, four days after the bodies of Baird and Davies were found at a property near Goulburn.
He was charged with two counts of domestic-violence-related murder and one count of aggravated breaking and entering to commit a serious indictable offence to people there, which he is expected to plead not guilty to.
The court was in May told that a forensic psychiatric report on Lamarre-Condon had been received.
Lamarre-Condon had been in a brief relationship with Baird, with police alleging the former officer exhibited a pattern of “predatory” behaviour in the lead-up to the alleged double homicide.
While police allege Lamarre-Condon planned to kill Baird, they believe Davies’ death was a tragic, unplanned casualty.
Lamarre-Condon has been dismissed from the NSW Police Force.
