> A Sydney court heard that police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon asked a colleague whether Paul Thijssen would have escaped justice for killing Lilie James if he had not taken his own life, one day before Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. He denies two murder charges; the defence says the shootings were in self-defence.
