NSW Police are now searching two new areas in Sydney’s south as part of the effort to find the bodies of allegedly murdered Sydney couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, 28, is behind bars after being charged with murdering former Ten reporter Baird, 26, and his partner Davies, 29, on Monday, February 19.

Police believe Baird and Davies were killed sometime between midnight and 5pm on that day by the serving NSW police officer.
On Tuesday morning, police said they were now focusing their search efforts at a property in Grays Point as well as the Royal National Park off Sir Bertram Stevens Drive.
They said the updated search efforts were the result of “new information” obtained by Strike Force Ashfordby.
The Grays Point property is believed to be Lamarre-Condon’s family home.
Police efforts previously focused on a Bungonia property in the Southern Tablelands, visited by Lamarre-Condon and a female friend on Wednesday — with police divers searching a dam on the property.
Officers then arrived at the Grays Point property on Monday afternoon, where it is understood they requested CCTV footage from residents in the area — particularly those along Dents Creek — taken on Wednesday and Thursday last week.
Police helicopters also formed part of the search on Monday, focusing on the Port Hacking area.
So far, the search has stretched from Newcastle down to the inner-city Sydney suburbs of Balmain, Paddington and Waterloo, down to Cronulla, Grays Point and Bungonia.
NSW Police have also revealed that a triple-0 call was made from the house on the morning of the alleged murder.
The call came from Baird’s phone at 9.54am, four minutes after witnesses say they heard shots fired at Baird’s Paddington home last week.
Investigators allege Lamarre-Condon hired an HiAce van from near Sydney airport following the alleged murders.
The couple’s bloodied possessions were discovered in a skip bin in Cronulla on Wednesday, February 21 — the same day Lamarre-Condon allegedly drove to Bungonia, about two hours southwest of Sydney, with an acquaintance, in the van he had hired.
The acquaintance allegedly helped Lamarre-Condon buy an angle grinder and a padlock from a local hardware store before the pair drove to Bungonia.
Police said the angle grinder was used to cut a padlock from the property’s gate, and the damaged padlock was replaced with the one the pair bought from the hardware store.
About 11pm, he then bought weights from a department store and returned to the rural property.
Police believe Lamarre-Condon then left the area at 4.30am Thursday, February 22, when he then allegedly drove to Newcastle in the van and asked another acquaintance if he could borrow a hose to clean the vehicle.
Lamarre-Condon then returned to Sydney about 6.15am the following day, before handing himself in to police about 10.30am.
It is believed the 28-year-old drove back to the Bungonia property, allegedly retrieved the bodies and disposed of them somewhere else before handing himself in.
Lamarre-Condon is refusing to co-operate with police, and is yet to reveal where he allegedly hid the bodies of Baird and Davies.
The 28-year-old was charged with two counts of murder following the men’s disappearance.
Lamarre-Condon did not make a bail application when he appeared at Waverley Local Court on Friday, and his matter was next set down for April 23 in Downing Centre Local Court.
Investigators allege Lamarre-Condon’s crimes followed a months-long campaign of “predatory behaviour”, culminating in the fatal double shooting.
Witnesses have told police of a past incident in which Lamarre-Condon allegedly broke into Baird’s house sometime before his death, NSW Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson said on Monday.
Lamarre-Condon allegedly used a key to enter the home and took Baird’s phone, deleting contacts and messages before leaving the property.
Hudson said it was unclear at this stage when this incident occurred, but confirmed it was not reported to police.
He said witnesses have told police there had been a “number of entrances to the premises”.
“There has been activity … at that house which, in hindsight, appears suspicious,” Hudson said.
Hudson said Baird and Lamarre-Condon had been in an “on again-off again” relationship, which ended in late 2023.
He said some of the behaviours exhibited by Lamarre-Condon during the relationship were “predatory”.
“Some of the behaviour of the accused, which will later come out in court, was probably indicators of predatory behaviour by the accused,” Hudson said.
Backlash against NSW Police
There has been strong backlash against NSW Police from the community as a result of Baird and Davies’ alleged murders.
This has included calls for NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb to step down.
As the investigation continues, NSW Police have been officially uninvited from marching at this weekend’s Mardi Gras Parade.
The decision ends 20 years of involvement by the Force.
Webb said she found the move illogical, saying that the whole organisation should not be branded because of the actions of one individual.
Webb is scheduled to appear on Sunrise on Tuesday morning.
