After the sensational double murder of an Australian TV journalist and his friend in Sydney, the bodies of the victims have been found. The police officer arrested as the suspected perpetrator apparently gave the authorities the decisive clue.

"We are confident we have found Luke and Jesse," New South Wales state police chief Karen Webb told journalists on Tuesday.

The bodies of 26-year-old celebrity journalist Jesse Baird and 29-year-old flight attendant Luke Davies were discovered in a rural area about two hours' drive from Sydney.

Scores of people laid flowers outside Baird's home in the Paddington area.

Bloodstained clothing found in garbage can
The investigation was launched after bloodstained clothing belonging to Baird and Davies was found in a garbage can in a Sydney suburb early last week.

Bodies probably taken away in surfboard bags
When investigators searched their apartment in the Paddington district, they found "a large amount of blood", but there was initially no trace of the victims. The police suspect that the bodies of the two men were taken away and hidden in surfboard bags in a white van.

Bullet from gun gave decisive clue
A bullet found in the apartment and originating from a registered police gun then gave the officers the decisive clue to the suspected perpetrator. The firearm was later found in a locker at a police station.

The person arrested as the suspected perpetrator on Friday apparently gave the authorities the decisive clue. "This information came with the help of the suspect," said police chief Webb.
