Story summary

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer, is on trial for the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Sydney. CCTV footage released by the NSW Supreme Court shows Lamarre-Condon returning to the crime scene at around 11pm on February 19, 2024, over 12 hours after the victims were killed. The Crown claims that during this visit, Baird and Davies’ bodies remained in surfboard bags in their courtyard.

Earlier on the day of the alleged murders, Lamarre-Condon was captured on camera hiring a white van and purchasing a surfboard bag with cash at Bunnings in Alexandria, where he spent $146.40 on cleaning supplies and garbage bags. These actions are part of the evidence presented by the Crown to link him to the crime. The case involves complex forensic details, including discussions about tracing cash transactions.
