Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former NSW police officer, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29, in Paddington on February 19, 2024. He is on trial at the NSW Supreme Court, where the Crown alleges he killed Baird after an obsessive infatuation and Davies as a witness, while the defence argues he acted in self-defence during a struggle.
The jury heard Lamarre-Condon made calls on February 22 and 23, 2024, saying he was not avoiding police, and turned himself in on February 23. Photos shown in court reveal cuts and abrasions on his hands after his arrest, and a friend, Fiona Rosso, testified about encrypted messages and claims of cleaning a van, with 'hot chocolate' allegedly used as a code for a search warrant.
