  "summary": "Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old police officer, is accused of fatally shooting Jesse Baird and Luke Davies with his service weapon in their Paddington home on February 19, 2024. According to a friend of Lamarre-Condon, Elizabeth Kennedy, the officer played Taylor Swift's song \"No Body, No Crime\" while attempting to dispose of the two bodies in a van. Kennedy said the van had a lemony smell and a blue tarp in the back, and they drove for about two hours to reach Bungonia, where they stopped at a Bunnings store. Kennedy denied suggestions that Lamarre-Condon showed her Baird's body or chose the song herself, stating that she had asked him about it and he claimed it was from the album \"Evermore.\"",
