Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said: “They (the families) have received the news of the charges and what the charges are of murder, so obviously now they are shocked by this news.”
“We believe there is sufficient evidence to move forward with these charges given the evidence we have updated and we continue to support and contact the family.”
“It's really important that we locate the bodies, not only for the cause of death but also to get answers for the family because they are still grieving,” he added.
Lamar Condon, who joined the police in 2019, was previously a popular blogger and has been photographed with stars including Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
