Defence team of 29-year-old yet to review ‘extraordinary volume’ of evidence compiled by prosecutors. A former police officer accused of murdering two people with his service weapon and allegedly dumping their bodies in surfboard bags will undergo psychiatric testing arranged by his lawyers.
Beau Lamarre-Condon was charged with two counts of murder after police found the bodies of Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, and TV presenter Jesse Baird, 26, in February. The 29-year-old’s defence team are still waiting to view in full an “extraordinary volume” of evidence compiled by prosecutors, his Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick told Sydney’s Downing Centre local court on Tuesday.

Curnick asked for a brief of evidence to be delivered to the defence by 11 February ahead of her client undergoing testing by forensic psychiatrist Andrew Ellis in early March. Lamarre-Condon’s mobile phone records had now been supplied to the defence, but his lawyers were still awaiting the phone records of others linked to the case, the court was told.
The records, known as a Cellebrite extraction, include location information, internet browsing history, text messages and call logs. Lamarre-Condon is facing two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.
