Sydney’s usually boisterous Mardi Gras parade will take place under a sombre shadow today, after the grisly killing of a gay couple tested relations between police and the LGBTQ community. Organisers have asked uniformed police not to participate in the city’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade after an officer was charged with the double murder of a television presenter and his flight attendant boyfriend. The bodies of journalist Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, were found this week at a rural property outside Sydney. A 28-year-old serving police constable who had previously been in a relationship with Baird has been charged with two counts of murder.
