Story summary

On February 19, 2024, Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is accused of murdering his ex-boyfriend Jesse Baird, 26, and Baird's new partner Luke Davies, 29, at a Paddington terrace in Sydney. Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to the charges but faces two counts of domestic violence-related murder. On February 23, 2024, Detective Senior Sergeant Bronwyn Lansley examined a Toyota HiAce van that police believe Lamarre-Condon used after the alleged murders. She found blood dripping from the suspension and smudged inside the boot and under the rear bumper bar; DNA tests confirmed it matched Baird and Davies. Additionally, Lamarre-Condon's fingerprints were discovered on the vehicle, as well as remnants of a black garbage bag near the number plate. The victims' bodies were later found in Bungonia, about 180km south of Sydney, four days after the murders.
