Sydney police officer's murder trial hears of bloodied items found in skip bin

Tuesday, 29 September 2026, 06:23 · 1 min read

A trial is under way in the New South Wales Supreme Court for Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old Sydney police officer accused of fatally shooting AFL (Australian Football League) umpire Jesse Baird and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies at Baird's home in the inner-city suburb of Paddington in February 2024. A greenkeeper at a nearby bowls club testified that bloodied clothing, a silver watch, and a Qantas ID card were discovered in a skip bin two days after the alleged killings, which prosecutors say Lamarre-Condon used his police service weapon to carry out before attempting to clean up the scene. Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, with his defence arguing the shootings were acts of self-defence following physical struggles with the two men.
