Jury sees bloodied skip bin evidence in Beau Lamarre-Condon trial

A jury was shown more than 100 photos of bloodied items. Lamarre-Condon allegedly dumped them after the couple died.

A jury is hearing the trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon. The jury saw graphic photos of items dumped in a skip bin.

The items included a bone piece, a quilt with blood, shoe prints, and AFL flags with DNA. Lamarre-Condon dressed as an Uber Eats rider.

He then allegedly murdered Baird and Davies. This happened at Paddington on 19 February 2024.

He pleads not guilty. He says he acted in self-defence.

Evidence was found at Club Cronulla the morning after the killings. The venue's greenkeeper found it and told authorities.

The jury heard that shoe prints matched footwear found near a monastery. The bodies were allegedly dumped there.
