Accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon was captured on CCTV buying two bags of surfboards before the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
Footage shows NSW Police officer Lamarre-Cordon purchasing one of the two bags two days before the alleged murders at Baird’s Paddington home on February 19.
The first CCTV video shows Lamarre-Condon inside Miranda Westfield, in Sydney’s south, entering a sports store. Wearing a white T-shirt, pale shorts and white sneakers, Lamarre-Condon casually walked into the store with another man.
The pair left just two minutes later with Lamarre-Condon carrying the surfboard bag over his shoulder.
He returned to the store two days later, just three hours after allegedly shooting the couple with his police Glock pistol, and bought a second surfboard bag.
He made the second shopping trip alone while wearing dark-colored sneakers, socks, shorts, a T-shirt, and a baseball cap.

The bags were allegedly used to move the bodies of Sydney couple Luke Davies (left) and Jesse Baird (right).
The bodies of Baird and Davies were found behind a mound of earth on Jerrara Road, which leads to the Holy Greek Orthodox Monastery of St Fanourios near Bungonia, in the Southern Tablelands.
Lamarre-Condon remains in custody as NSW Police continue to gather evidence of his movements before and after the alleged murders.
The deaths of Mr Baird, a Channel Ten presenter, and Mr Davies, a Qantas flight attendant, have sparked an outpouring of grief in the community.
A vigil for the couple will be held in Green Park, Darlinghurst, on Friday night.
The AFL will also pay tribute to Mr Baird at its launch next Thursday as he refereed 62 AFL games, including two finals.
Qantas will honor Mr Davies by featuring his name on its Mardi Gras float this weekend, a move requested by his co-workers.

Meanwhile, a former detective turned lawyer hired by Lamarre-Condon claims the ex-cop is “doing fine” behind bars.
Solicitor John Walford served 20 years in the New South Wales Police Force, where he was a senior criminal investigator, qualified criminal analyst and prosecutor.
He then spent 15 years as a solicitor in the New South Wales Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, before opening his own suburban practice, the Penrith Law Centre.
Walford, who is the only attorney representing Lamarre-Condon, said his client had not yet indicated how he would respond to the murder charges against him.
“I’ve seen him a couple of times,” Walford told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I have no instructions on this at the moment, it is too early.
“We had a conversation about certain things that the police acted on the other day.”
Asked how the 28-year-old police officer was coping with being in custody for the first time, Walford said: “He’s fine.” Alright.’

Lamarre-Condon, a former celebrity hunter who posted photos of himself with international stars on social media, handed himself in to police in Bondi last Friday.
That afternoon he appeared at Waverley Local Court, where he was represented by a lawyer from the Legal Aid Commission and did not apply for bail.
“There’s been a bit of confusion at first,” Walford said. “He just entered a police station.
“I wasn’t represented, so it was that confusing time of the weekend.
“I managed to get in touch with him on Monday and we sorted everything out. I’m the only one involved in this at the moment.
Following his court appearance, Lamarre-Condon was transported to the Metropolitan Retention and Reception Center (MRRC) in Silverwater, where he is being held in protective custody.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Sergeant Sasha Pinazza, and the lead investigator, Detective Chief Inspector Glen Browne, spoke to Lamarre-Condon at the MRRC on Tuesday.
About two hours after detectives left the prison, police located the bodies of Baird and Davies at a property in Bungonia, about 180 kilometers southwest of Sydney.
Police, including Commissioner Karen Webb, have been providing regular updates on the investigation.
Walford, who had no prior relationship with Lamarre-Condon, said his client had not yet retained a lawyer.
Lamarre-Condon (pictured) allegedly shot Mr Baird and Mr Davies with his police pistol last Monday.
“We have options in the future but it depends on what their instructions are and then we will make a decision,” Walford said.
‘I’m just waiting for a brief evidence before I see him again.
“I hope to come back next week and try to fix some things between me and him.”
Lamarre-Condon is due in court in April.
