TWO bodies have been found stuffed in surf bags during the search for Australian TV presenter Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies.
It comes days after serving cop Beau Lamarre-Condon, who previously dated Mr Baird, handed himself in and was charged with two counts of murder.
The remains were found on a rural property in the town of Bungonia on Tuesday - more than 180km from where Mr Baird and Mr Davies were allegedly killed in Paddington last Monday.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said: "We are very confident that we have located Luke and Jesse."
Cops worked around the clock to find Mr Baird and Mr Davies after blood-covered clothes were found in a bin and a bullet cartridge at the former host's home.
The cartridge marched Lamarre-Condon's service weapon - and he handed himself other to authorities on Friday.
Investigators searched areas in Bungonia, Waterloo and Lambton but failed to find any trace of Mr Baird and Mr Davies.
But police say on Tuesday, Lamarre-Condon revealed to cops where the couple's bodies were after initially refusing to cooperate.
Two hours later, they found the remains in two surf bags along with "other items of interest" at a remote property in Bungonia, cops said.
Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said: "A driveway goes up to a property and a fence line there and it’s off the side of the driveway.
"An attempt appears to have been made to cover the bodies with rock and debris."
The bodies were found "near the entrance to the [Bungonia] property" - 20 minutes from the original search location - DS Doherty added.
Cops believe Mr Baird, 26, and Mr Davies, 29, were shot dead by Senior Constable Lamarre-Condon on February 19.
Police say "two surf bags" were used to transport the bodies from Baird's home in Paddington, a suburb of Sydney, where it is believed the pair were killed, to the remote property.
DS Doherty said Mr Baird and Mr Davies' families had been made aware of the tragic development.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said police were "very confident" the bodies are those of Mr Baird and Mr Davies.
DS Doherty added: "It's probably mixed emotions for them. You can understand how they may have felt.
"But at least they have an answer and they want to travel down to the Goulburn area, and we'll provide as much support as we can and accommodate them."
Lamarre-Condon, 28, the ex-boyfriend of Mr Baird, was charged with two counts of murder last Friday after turning himself in to the police.
He was seen buying an angle grinder and weights last Wednesday, police said.
Former Aussie TV host Baird and his flight attendant boyfriend were last seen in Paddington, on February 19.
A huge manhunt was launched for the couple after blood-covered clothes and "a projectile" were found in a bin in Sydney.
DS Doherty said "a large amount of blood was located" at the crime scene - along with a bullet matching Lamarre-Condon's work-issued gun.
Police fear that Lamarre-Condon could have killed the pair in their Paddington home before transporting them to Bungonia.
Authorities also said the suspect could have transported the bodies in a white rental van.
New South Wales police said the alleged killer had taken a female acquaintance to the remote property last Wednesday.
They claim he broke the lock on the gate before leaving the female there, drove the van onto the property, and returned to her at the gate 30 minutes later, police said.
The acquaintance, who has been cooperating with police, said she "wasn't aware the bodies were in the vehicle," New South Wales Police Force Deputy Commissioner David Hudson said.
Authorities believe the angle grinder Lamarre-Condon bought was used to break the gate open.
Cops believe Lamarre-Condon later returned and moved the bodies again.
A post-mortem is due to be carried out.
The suspect will be refused bail and is expected to face court this weekend.
Lamarre-Condon previously dated Mr Baird and cops have been told that their break-up was “bitter”.
Mr Baird reportedly expressed concerns for his safety and said he was being stalked.
Mr Doherty said there were "no warnings or flags to us in relation to his behaviour or any relationship breakdown".
Celeb chaser Lamarre-Condon was known for taking selfies with famous faces such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian.
