Updating existing record crreating new account in salesforce.Help needed

I have created a Event Staging object and a trigger which creates Events/Event Relations after insert of an Event Staging record.
There is a field meetingUID on EventStaging.It is not set set to unique in SF.However if a duplicate field with same meetingUID value is inserted into object, it should fetch and update the original Event Staging object record.
How to achieve this? I am trying in before insert trigger the below code. However a new record gets created every time which leads to record duplication.
Any help appreciated.
