Story summary

In October 2026, a jury in the NSW Supreme Court heard that Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former Sydney police officer, had previously visited a farm near Bungonia where he allegedly attempted to sink the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies using quick-set cement and weights. Lamarre-Condon is accused of shooting the couple on February 19, 2024, in Mr Baird's home in Sydney’s Paddington neighborhood. The bodies were discovered eight days later near a monastery at Bungonia in surfboard bags. Lamarre-Condon had initially planned to dispose of the bodies at another farm about a 15-minute drive from where they were eventually found but decided against it. He met the owner of this particular farm through the dating app Hinge and allegedly used their property for his disposal attempt. The trial continues as Lamarre-Condon pleads not guilty, claiming self-defense.
