A groundskeeper discovered bloodstained bedsheets and clothing inside a skip bin, together with Luke Davies’ identification documents and Qantas card.
The jury heard part of Craig Scott’s statement on Tuesday morning, including his account of finding blood and black rubbish bags in a Cronulla skip bin in Sydney’s south.
Mr Scott said the bin had contained only grass clippings when he finished work on the afternoon of February 20, 2024 — the day after Jesse Baird and Luke Davies were allegedly killed.
When he returned the next day, the bin appeared to have been filled with rubbish by someone else. He asked a colleague to inspect it with him.
“There were AFL footy shorts still in plastic packaging,” he said.
“I saw a bunch of white flags bunched together near the top and it had a lot of red.”

“When we moved them to the side, we saw several bin bags … I opened one of the bags and removed a piece of brown clothing. I only took a little from the bag and it had red stains on it.”
Mr Scott said he left the clothing inside the bag because he believed it was covered in blood.
His colleague opened a second bag and found a bedsheet marked with similar stains.
The pair also discovered a silver watch and a leather pouch containing credit cards in Luke Davies’ name, as well as a Qantas card. Davies worked as a Qantas flight attendant.
The two men “decided something suspicious had gone on” and took the watch and leather pouch to a police station.
