Jury hears Beau Lamarre-Condon visited Bungonia farm months before alleged disposal attempt
A witness described a November 2023 visit to the farm where prosecutors say Lamarre-Condon later tried to sink the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
A Sydney jury heard on 14 October 2026 that Beau Lamarre-Condon visited a farm at Bungonia, New South Wales, in November 2023, months before prosecutors say he tried to sink the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies there. He has pleaded not guilty to their murders.
How the Bungonia farm visit came about
The Guardian reported that a statement read to the jury came from a man Lamarre-Condon met on Hinge. The man described an overnight visit to his family’s farm. According to ABC News, he said he had matched with Lamarre-Condon in March 2023 and later suggested the farm as a cheaper alternative to a cabin trip.
The farm testimony follows earlier evidence about a bedroom-door bullet hole and DNA on a pistol barrel, covered in our report on the trial’s door and DNA evidence. The prosecution’s account of what happened to Baird and Davies, including the alleged attempt to dispose of their bodies at the farm, remains before the jury.
