The ex-cop was also gay, killed them with a Glock, stuff their bodies in surfboard bags, and then hid them poorly.

Not only that but the perpetrator had had a casual fling with one of the victims -- it reads like it was revenge for being rejected.

real unfortunate that someone so unstable was trusted with a gun

Most cops are unstable. That profession usually attracts a certain kind of person with unresolved mental issues.

At least in the US and in South Asia.

Yeah, unfortunately wanting to be a cop is one of the criteria that should get you on the gun ban list.

This is in Australia.

I said "at least" because that's what I know. Now we can also add Australia to the list then.

Let me guess, you are "waiting for a mate". Sorry I don't steal from IGA and then get upset when arrested I guess.

Yeah no, I'm just not hating them because of what a few did.

They aren't sending their best to the police academy.

I feel like the title needs punctuation of some sort, just don't know what - unless they are charging the dead boyfriend with new charges.

Ex-cop, accused of killing gay TV presenter and his boyfriend, faces new charges

"His boyfriend" is still slightly ambiguous, but that's getting a bit nit-picky.
