A detective broke down in court while recalling the moment she discovered the bodies of two men allegedly murdered by former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, during proceedings in the trial over the killings.
Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to the murders of Jesse Baird, 26, and his boyfriend Luke Davies, 29, who were shot dead in a terrace house in Sydney in February 2024.
Emotional testimony
According to court proceedings, the detective's account of finding the two men's bodies was an emotionally difficult moment in the trial, reflecting the gravity of the case, which has drawn significant public attention in Australia since the killings came to light in early 2024.
Lamarre-Condon, a former New South Wales police officer, faces murder charges over the deaths of Baird and Davies. The case has proceeded through the Australian court system over the past two years, with the trial now examining the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the victims.
The trial is continuing, with further testimony expected as prosecutors seek to establish the sequence of events that led to the deaths of the two men in February 2024.
