On Friday, jurors visited Jesse Baird’s former rental property in Paddington.
They were shown the locations where the alleged murders occurred, as well as the places where important evidence was discovered.
Beau Lamarre-Condon was not present during the inspection.
Justice Natalie Adams told the jury on Thursday that viewing the property would help them understand the evidence in its proper context.
No new evidence was presented during the viewing, and the court did not sit on Friday afternoon.
The previous day, forensic biologist Lisa-Ann Wedervang told the court that Lamarre-Condon’s service firearm — alleged to be the murder weapon — contained DNA from three people.
She said Luke Davies, pictured below with Jesse Baird, was a major contributor to DNA detected on the gun’s barrel, slide and slide lock.
The court heard that Lamarre-Condon could not be excluded as a minor contributor to the DNA mixture found on the firearm.
Jurors were also told that Davies’ DNA may have been transferred to the gun if Lamarre-Condon touched his body before handling the firearm.
Lamarre-Condon, pictured below, has claimed he fought with Davies over the gun and that Davies accidentally shot himself.
The Crown alleges instead that Lamarre-Condon shot Davies in the head through a door.
A former friend of Lamarre-Condon also told the court that she travelled from her home in Western Australia to Sydney to find celebrities and have her photograph taken with them.
She said she met Lamarre-Condon in 2010 because he was pursuing the same interest. The pair were both waiting outside Channel Seven’s Sunrise studio in Sydney for Pitbull.
According to the friend, Lamarre-Condon was particularly skilled at locating celebrities, including Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.
She said much of their conversation centred on their shared fascination with famous people.
When Crown prosecutors asked whether they shared any interests beyond celebrities, the friend replied: “Covid, I didn’t agree with it and I used to bounce off him, ask him questions and whatnot.”

She later clarified that she opposed Covid vaccine mandates and had attended protests.
“I asked how a cop can push back against someone fighting for our freedoms, and he told me it was the devil’s work,” she told the court.
Asked if they had been close friends, she answered: “Close-ish, I thought we were.”
On February 20, the day after the alleged murders, Lamarre-Condon phoned the friend and asked whether she was available to speak.
During that call, he asked if she could ‘do him a favour’.
‘He told me that he’d stolen some police files from the Commissioner and he wanted me to get rid of the phone,’ she told the court.
‘I agreed to do it … I told him I lived 1.5 hours from Perth and he said I needed to be 30km away from my house when I did it … I needed to turn the phone on and off, and then throw it in the water.’
Two days later, he called the friend again. She told the court Lamarre-Condon said that two detectives had been to his mother’s house, looking for him.
‘He said he was going to be set up for two guys that had gone missing and then he went on to ask me what I had to do with the phone, and I told him what I was going to do with the phone so he could hear it.’
The friend told the court that Lamarre-Condon said he was being set up by police. She said his tone appeared ‘normal’.
Days later, she was at her sister’s house when they saw news articles about Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, and Lamarre-Condon.
She told the court there was information in the news articles about how Baird’s friends continued receiving texts from his phone, even after he died.
‘I became very concerned and went to the police,’ she said.
The friend said she approached police near her home in WA.
She never received a package from Lamarre-Condon.
