The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - The Bodies in the Backyard

Jesse Baird’s housemates thought it was strange when two surfboard bags appeared in their backyard. They didn’t open the bags, and believed the pool of red liquid may have been a mixture of water and rust from the outdoor furniture.

They had no idea that the bags contained the bodies of Jesse, and his boyfriend Luke Davies.

The surfboard bags stayed in the backyard overnight. When the housemates checked the following morning, they were gone.

In this episode, Wayne and Stephen examine the testimony of Jesse Baird’s housemates, both of whom gave evidence at the trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon. They also break down the evidence given by a detective who was a close friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon, who claimed he asked her strange questions about tracking phones and hire cars before Jesse and Luke’s disappearance.

Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder and one of aggravated break and enter. His defence says that Jesse and Luke both died in separate struggles involving Beau Lamarre-Condon’s police issued gun.
