Forensic evidence of bullet and cartridge revealed in Lamarre-Condon murder trial

In the ongoing murder trial of former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, forensic investigators have shown the jury a CAD-generated floor plan marking where a bullet was found on the subfloor beneath the kitchen and where a cartridge case was recovered above the cupboards. Senior sergeant Bronwyn Lansley described the method used to document the scene, including photographs, sketches and measurements. Prosecutors allege that Lamarre-Condon shot Jesse Baird twice, including a fatal temple shot, and then killed Luke Davies to silence a witness, driven by an obsessive, jealous infatuation.

Evidence also includes impact damage to a kitchen wall and a blood-stained tarpaulin under a trapdoor in a bedroom. The defence maintains that Lamarre-Condon was merely retrieving personal items, that his weapon fired unintentionally during a scuffle, and that Davies injured himself after grabbing the gun. The trial continues before a 15-person jury in the NSW Supreme Court.
