A police officer accused of murdering a Sydney couple is due to appear in court as family and friends of the duo mourn the much-loved pair. Luke Davies and his partner Jessie Baird were allegedly murdered in Sydney’s east when Beaumont Lamarre-Condon shot them with his service weapon while off-duty in February. The crime was allegedly committed in Baird’s home in inner-city Paddington.
“I shatter every day knowing I won’t see you again, and then every day my pieces pull themselves back together knowing I have the day to tell the world about you,” Davies’ friend Jess said in a tribute. It was the common theme on Saturday as family, friends, co-workers and former teachers spoke highly of a man who made a lasting impact on everyone in his life.
