Beau Lamarre-Condon trial live updates: Just weeks ago, cops made a surprising find in Jesse Baird’s bedroom over how accused killer had allegedly covered up traces of the double shooting
The trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon continues in the NSW Supreme Court, where he faces two counts of domestic violence-related murder over the deaths of his ex-boyfriend Jesse Baird and Baird's new partner Luke Davies in February 2024. A significant development has emerged: police only discovered in July 2026—nearly two years after the alleged killings—that the accused allegedly attempted to conceal bullet holes in the victim's bedroom door using paint, putty, and hooks purchased the day after the murders.
During court proceedings on Tuesday, Senior Sergeant Bronwyn Lansley testified that she identified discrepancies in photographs of Baird's bedroom door, discovering two circular holes consistent with close-range gunfire hidden beneath paint and putty. Luminol testing confirmed the presence of blood in multiple locations throughout the house, including Baird's bedroom, hallway, and living room. Crown evidence alleges that Lamarre-Condon purchased 3M hooks from Kmart on 20 February 2024—the day following the alleged murders—which were repositioned on the door as part of the concealment effort.
