Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of the murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.

Today at Sydney’s Dowling Street Court his representatives filed a 50-page affidavit that outlined to magistrate Daniel Covington that more time would be needed.

The case has been adjourned until the 4th of February with Lamarre-Condon remaining in custody. He did not appear at today’s hearing.

The accused, who was a serving police officer, is alleged to have shot television presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies at Davies Paddington home in February.

Police have alleged that the 29-year-old broke into television producer Jesse Baird’s Paddington home and shot Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies with his police issued hand gun.

Police have alleged that Lamarre-Condon hid the two men’s bodies in the back garden of the home before returning later to move them to a rural location.

Concern over the two men was raised after blood and items belonging to Baird were found in a skip bin in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla. A few days later Lamarre-Condon handed himself in to authorities.

The two men’s bodies were later found is surfboard bags at a rural property in Bungonia, near Goulburn. Police later shared that Lamarre-Condon had provided information to assist them in recovering the bodies.
