During Beau Lamarre-Condon's murder trial for the deaths of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, prosecutors presented CCTV footage showing Lamarre-Condon's movements across Sydney after the alleged murders on February 19, 2024. The video evidence includes him hiring vehicles to transport what police believe are the victims' bodies while cleaning up crime scenes. Prosecutors argue that Lamarre-Condon’s actions in obtaining multiple rental cars and surfboard bags indicate premeditation and an attempt to cover up his crimes. Defense claims suggest these acts were driven by panic rather than planning.

Story summary
Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old former senior constable, is on trial for allegedly murdering his ex-girlfriend Jesse Baird and her new partner Luke Davies. The prosecution claims that after killing Baird around 9am on February 19, 2024, Lamarre-Condon shot Davies through a door when Davies made an emergency call. CCTV footage shows Lamarre-Condon's movements across Sydney, including him hiring an Uber to reach an Avis car rental depot at about 9pm that same day. He rented a Toyota Hiace van which was later found with significant blood stains. GPS data from the van places it near Baird’s house in Paddington around 11pm, and again after midnight on February 20. The trial is using this evidence to build its case against Lamarre-Condon, who has pleaded not guilty.
