Accused killer cop reveals actions before alleged murders
On Thursday, former NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon began testifying in his NSW Supreme Court double murder trial, providing emotional evidence about alleged workplace trauma and mental health struggles.
Lamarre-Condon faces two murder charges for the February 2024 deaths of Jesse Baird, a former Network Ten producer, and Luke Davies, a Qantas flight attendant, though he maintains he acted in self-defense.
Under questioning, the accused admitted to entering Baird's home in August 2023 to check his phone, describing his actions as "stupid" while denying allegations he watched through a window "like a little creep."
Admitting to deceptive behavior in November 2023, the accused confirmed he posted flowers to "insinuate they were from you when they weren't" and blocked a man on Baird's phone to test relationship status.
Testimony also detailed bullying and alleged homophobic remarks within NSW Police, with Lamarre-Condon claiming he struggled with severe mental health issues and suicidal ideation throughout 2023 and early 2024.
