Police officer's obsession with ex probed as trial hears forensic evidence
Beau Lamarre-Condon's trial entered its second week with forensic evidence showing bloodstains, DNA, and bullets from the double homicide he denies committing.
Senior constable Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is on trial for murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. The killings happened in a Sydney terrace in February 2024.
The second week of trial focused on forensic evidence from the crime scene. Jurors saw hundreds of crime scene photos.
These showed blood evidence, bullet holes, and victim items found in a skip bin. Prosecutors argue Lamarre-Condon became obsessed with Baird.
Baird only wanted casual dates. The defence claims Davies accidentally shot himself.
This happened during a struggle over Lamarre-Condon's police pistol. Crime scene investigators found Baird's blood beneath bedroom floorboards.
They found a bullet that killed him under the kitchen. DNA matching both victims was found in multiple hire cars Lamarre-Condon used.
