Police CCTV footage is shown in the trial of former officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, who is accused of fatally shooting Jesse Baird and Luke Davies at Baird’s Paddington home on 19 February 2024. The footage shown to the jury includes scenes in which he changes between different vehicles and appears in public places in the days following the alleged killings.
Across outlets, the CCTV is described as including visits to fast-food and retail locations, as well as meetings at eateries. The Guardian reports footage in which he orders food from a McDonald’s drive-thru and visits Bunnings stores after the alleged murders. ABC Australia focuses on the presentation of multiple hours of CCTV, including vehicle details such as a hired white van. Several other outlets highlight sequences that show him at a sushi restaurant and in the days after the alleged shooting, including meeting a friend and visiting a skip bin area.
While the coverage consistently centres on the CCTV as evidence, outlets differ in which locations and moments they lead with—fast food and hardware retail in some reports, and sushi/nearby areas in others. All coverage refers to the same overall trial context and the alleged double murder.
