- He denies two murder charges and a break-in charge.

## Summary

Beau Lamarre-Condon’s childhood friend told a NSW Supreme Court jury that he said they were travelling to a farm to stop cattle escaping. She said she did not know the trip was allegedly to dispose of the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, and believed they were arranging accommodation for a planned European holiday.

The friend, identified in court as Elizabeth Kennedy, said she became annoyed when she realised they were driving about 200 kilometres from Sydney to Bungonia. She testified that Lamarre-Condon said he needed to break into the farm and save the cattle, then cut the gate lock and left her alone for about 40 minutes. Prosecutors allege he took the men’s bodies there after fatally shooting them in Paddington; he denies the murder and break-in charges.
