Story summary

In the ongoing trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old former police officer, the court heard that he became emotional and told detectives "I'm not a bad person" after revealing where he left the bodies of his victims, Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. Lamarre-Condon is accused of shooting the couple with his police pistol inside Baird's Paddington share house in February 2024; their bodies were later found near a monastery in Bungonia, south of Sydney. He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of break and enter, arguing self-defense. During the same trial, Detective Sasha Pinazza reported that Lamarre-Condon also requested to speak with Baird's family but wished to consult his lawyer first before assisting investigators further.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
