Story summary

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer, was seen by his ex-colleague Fiona Rosso on February 22, 2024, three days after the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Sydney. According to testimony given at the New South Wales Supreme Court trial, Lamarre-Condon visited Rosso’s home unannounced, crying and saying he had "done something bad." He asked her if she had seen the news about a missing couple and used her hose to clean his van outside, which he claimed was stained with blood. Rosso became suspicious when Lamarre-Condon mentioned searching online for details related to Baird’s disappearance and realized that Lamarre-Condon was identified as a suspect in the case. The accused has pleaded not guilty to the murders, claiming self-defense and arguing that there were two separate struggles involving his firearm.
