Double murder jury shown photos of bloodstains found in home

A former police officer, Beau Lamarre-Condon, stands accused of murdering Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies in February 2024. The jury in the double murder trial has been shown photographs of bloodstains found inside Baird's Sydney terrace. Lamarre-Condon's defense team has argued self-defense, claiming two struggles involving his police pistol led to the deaths.

The Crown alleges Lamarre-Condon had developed an obsessive, jealous infatuation following a brief romance in 2022 and 2023, and had stalked Baird before the alleged murders. The trial, presided over by Justice Natalie Adams, is in its second week and scheduled to last three months.
