The cop at the centre of a manhunt for two missing men has given himself up to detectives after Daily Mail Australia revealed his phone had been switched on again.
Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, was wanted for questioning by police after his ex-boyfriend, former Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and Baird’s new partner Luke Davies, 29, vanished from Paddington, in Sydney’s east, on Monday night.
