Ex-cop's alleged victims found in surfboard bags by housemates during trial
Housemates discovered the bodies in surfboard bags at their Paddington terrace on February 21, 2024.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former senior constable, is on trial for the murders of TV presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29. In February 2024, he entered Baird's Sydney terrace armed with his police gun.
He pleaded not guilty. He claims both men died in separate violent fights.
After shooting them, Lamarre-Condon left their bodies in surfboard bags in the courtyard. He moved them late that night.
Two housemates found surfboard bags they had never seen before. They noticed red liquid leaking from them.
The housemates told police the bags weren't theirs and that Baird had never surfed. A detective testified about the confusion the bags caused.
Evidence showed Lamarre-Condon was jealous of Baird. He would get into his phone to change his social media and contacts.
