  "summary": "Jurors in the Beau Lamarre-Condon murder trial have been shown photographs of the decomposed bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, who were murdered in February 2024. Former NSW police officer Lamarre-Condon, 31, has pleaded not guilty to the murders of the two men. The trial has focused on how investigators discovered the remains in rural NSW, with retired crime scene officer Greg Moon testifying about the condition of the bodies. The bodies were found inside surfboard or stand-up paddleboard bags, with the smaller bag containing one body zipped inside the larger bag. Retired crime scene officer Christine Abela testified that she immediately knew something was amiss when she arrived at the rural property, noting a strong smell and the presence of maggots and decompositional fluids.",
