WA news LIVE: Police investigating quokka vaping incident

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer, has reenacted the shooting of Jesse Baird and his partner, Luke Davies, in a double murder trial in Sydney on 19 February 2024. The former officer pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one charge of aggravated break and enter. During cross-examination, Lamarre-Condon reiterated his claim that Baird was holding a knife during the struggle, causing him to push Baird back with his right arm.

The prosecutor, Brett Hatfield, asked Lamarre-Condon to demonstrate his movements, which he did, standing up in court. The officer showed how he pushed Baird's right hand away from him with his left arm fully extended, gestured to pull a pistol around his belt, and fired a shot towards Baird's right shoulder. Lamarre-Condon stated he discharged a shot and aimed towards Baird's right shoulder, admitting to constant movement during the struggle. He also confirmed that the two victims were wearing only their underwear and were barefoot.
