Overnight, the bodies of Jesse and Luke were moved to the morgue and detectives will talk
00:06
to staff there today about when a post-mortem can happen.
00:09
But it's still very much an active crime scene on the ground here in Bungonia.
00:14
Police tape is up.
00:15
This area has been cordoned off since one o'clock yesterday afternoon when the bodies
00:20
were found.
00:21
This morning, several police officers and the dog squad has arrived to conduct more
00:26
line searches for any additional evidence they might find.
00:30
And yesterday we also saw Mr Baird's family come and visit the site.
00:34
They left the area around 7.30 last night.
00:37
Just an absolutely heartbreaking situation but hopefully they were able to get some closure
00:42
and I understand that the other victim's family chose not to visit the site.
00:48
Isaac, where you are at the moment in Bungonia, it's at the road where the bodies were found.
00:53
What can you tell us about the area?
00:58
Yes that's right.
00:59
So I'm a few hundred metres down from where the bodies were found.
01:01
There's an active search happening in that area at the moment.
01:04
It's very dense bushland.
01:06
It's your quintessential Australian landscape driving into any rural town.
01:10
Bungonia is a small country town, a population of between three and four hundred people.
01:16
I had the privilege of meeting some of the residents during very different circumstances
01:19
a few years ago and they're very warm, welcoming, inviting people.
01:23
So it must be very strange and harrowing for them to have one of their main roads closed
01:28
off due to an active crime scene all day and all morning.
01:31
We have seen cars, including school buses, turned around here.
