How Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly hid Jesse Baird and Luke Davies' bodies in bushland heaped under rocks and foliage

Detectives found the decomposing bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies stacked on top of each other, inside surfboard bags and underneath rocks and tree foliage, along a fence on a rural property. asserted

Photos of the scene in Bungonia, about 200km south of Sydney, were released by the NSW Supreme Court on Friday during Beau Lamarre-Condon's double murder trial, with some of the more disturbing images redacted. Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer, has pleaded not guilty to the alleged fatal shootings of his ex-boyfriend Baird, 26, and his new partner Davies, 29, in Paddington on February 19, 2024. By the time cops found the pair's bodies, they had been concealed inside the surfboard bags, in summer and without refrigeration, for eight days, the jury was told. asserted

During the hearing on Wednesday, Senior Sergeant Christine Abela cried as she told the court that she could smell the bodies as soon as she got out of the car, and the smell became much stronger as she moved closer to the fence. uncertain

Images released by the court show the alleged attempt by Lamarre-Condon to hide the bodies under rocks, tree branches and foliage, but the bright blue surfboard bags were clearly visible underneath. Ms Abela said Baird's body had allegedly been stuffed inside a black garbage bag, an inner-surfboard bag and an outer bag, and was stacked on top of Davies body which was inside an inner surfboard bag and an outer one. uncertain

The court heard both men were in severe stages of decomposition, to the point where detectives had to identify them at the scene by comparing the rings and earrings on their bodies to their photos on Instagram. asserted

Luke Davies and Jesse Baird (pictured) were allegedly murdered in February 2024 Beau Lamarre-Condon (pictured) has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly dumped the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies inside surfboard bags (pictured), along a fence line in Bungonia Baird's family was at the scene when his remains were found. Ms Abela told the court there were black garbage bags near the bodies with two keys - one key was to an iron security door, and another house key which opened the front door of Baird's rental property. Former senior constable Greg Moon later told the court that Lamarre-Condon allegedly left evidence near the bodies, including blood-stained bedsheets, his own fingerprints and DNA, and a Budget car rental card with his name on it. Lamarre-Condon is accused of renting a van from a car dealership the day he allegedly killed Baird and Davies, and using it to move the bodies from Paddington to Bungonia. Baird's driver's licence and passport were also found at the scene, cut into several pieces, along with Bunnings receipts which matched the purchases the court has heard Lamarre-Condon made in the days after the alleged murders. Items included an angle grinder, gum boots, garbage bags, coveralls, gloves, cable ties, cement, a wheelbarrow, weights, and high-vis clothing. uncertain

Prosecutors allege Lamarre-Condon was 'obsessed' with Baird and couldn't accept the end of their relationship, which was on-off between late-2022 and mid-2023. asserted
