Beau Lamarre-Condon, 30, pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of breaking and entering with intent to commit an indictable offense. He is accused of killing Jesse Baird and Luke Davies at their shared Sydney house in February 2024. Police believe Lamarre-Condon used his service Glock to fatally shoot the two shortly before 10 a.m. on February 19. Investigators say Lamarre-Condon was previously in a sexual relationship with Baird and may have been motivated by anger over its end. He was arrested on February 23 after a nationwide manhunt and revealed the location of the bodies, which were found in surfboard bags at a remote New South Wales property. The murders occurred during Mardi Gras, prompting the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras board to request NSW not march. If convicted, Lamarre-Condon faces life sentences for each murder plus an additional penalty of up to 20 years for the extra charge.
