A trial begins in Sydney for Beau Lamarre-Condon, who is accused of murdering two people in a double homicide case. The matter is set to start in court today, with proceedings brought against him over the alleged killings.
ABC reports that the allegations relate to Mr Lamarre-Condon, described as a former police officer, who is accused of shooting a young couple using his service firearm. The alleged shooting occurred more than two and a half years ago at a terrace property in Sydney. Other outlets provide the same core update that the trial is due to begin today, but they do not add further details in the information provided.
Across the sources, the shared focus is on the commencement of the trial and the Sydney location. The additional context about the firearm and the timeframe comes from ABC, while The Age, Brisbane Times, and the Sydney Morning Herald largely reiterate the start date and court setting without elaboration in their supplied summaries.
