Less than a fortnight ago, Jesse Baird and Luke Davies – loved, talented young men with their whole lives ahead of them – were dancing together at a Pink concert at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, all smiles and sparkles. By late Monday afternoon, they were dead.
Since Wednesday morning, when the alarm was raised over the men’s disappearance, they have pieced together key details. And what they do know has led them to believe Lamarre-Condon is the killer. Police also think Lamarre-Condon may have been hiding at a relative’s house in Balmain until news of the deaths started breaking on late Thursday afternoon, though no family member has been charged or implicated in the matter.
