Jesse Baird’s housemates are moving out of the Sydney rental where he and his boyfriend were allegedly murdered by an ex-cop and left overnight under a tarpaulin in the property’s courtyard.
Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly used his police-issued Glock pistol to shoot the former Channel Ten presenter and his new boyfriend Luke Davies three times at the Paddington terrace on February 19.
Mr Baird’s housemates arrived home later that evening to find the place in disarray and went to bed unaware the couple were dead in the courtyard.
They rented the three-bedroom terrace in April last year for $1,200 per week, but it is understood they may have ended the lease earlier than anticipated in the wake of the tragedy.
Furniture and household items – including outdoor couches, towels and arm chairs – were dumped on the pavement outside the home on Wednesday.
Among the items was a disco ball, a pink heart painted on cardboard, and a yellow football placed just inside the property’s gate with a handwritten poem for the dead couple.

It read: ‘Jesse and Luke, gone in a moment, forever out of reach. Memories linger as hearts slowly breach. Tears fall like rain as grief takes hold, the pain of loss is a story often told.’
Among the furniture were Ikea-style shelves and cupboards, outdoor cushions, two brown swivel armchairs, and a box with a washcloth and towels.
As of Thursday morning, the property did not appear to be back on the market. If it is listed again, the real estate agent will have to tell prospective tenants or buyers that it was an alleged murder scene.
Detectives allege the murders were a premeditated attack after a months-long campaign of ‘predatory behaviour’ towards Mr Baird, who Lamarre-Condon had a brief ‘friends with benefits’ relationship with.
According to police, Mr Davies, a Qantas flight attendant, was allegedly murdered because he happened to be in the Paddington property when Lamarre-Condon – who was a senior constable at that time – turned up.
About 12 hours later, he allegedly collected the bodies in a white rental van and took them to a remote farm property in Bungonia, about 180km south of Sydney.

He allegedly returned to the site to move the bodies to another location in Bungonia, about 20 minutes’ drive from the original location.
There was an extensive search for the couple but Lamarre-Condon initially would not tell police where their bodies were located.
He then spoke with a lawyer on February 27, more than a week after the alleged murders.
The remains of Mr Baird and Mr Davies were found inside surf bags that afternoon.
In the days following the tragedy, friends and passers-by left bouquets of flowers outside the Paddington terrace.
Sunflowers, roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums and tulips were placed along the property’s iron gates.
Lamarre-Condon was charged with two counts of murder and is currently in Silverwater Correctional Complex, in Sydney’s west.
He will face court in Sydney’s Downing Centre on April 23.
