‘I Hate Losing’: Accused Killer’s Words About Ex
The former NSW police officer is being challenged over messages, bullets and phone evidence as prosecutors allege jealousy drove the killings.
Former NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon faced cross-examination on Thursday regarding stolen police ammunition and his conduct toward deceased TV presenter Jesse Baird.
Prosecutors grilled Lamarre-Condon over a 1600-word Instagram message from November 2023 in which he claimed a 'sporadic form of cancer' and potential arm amputation to manipulate Baird after their breakup.
Lamarre-Condon admitted to 'gaslighting' Baird by posting a bouquet photo to Instagram to falsely imply the journalist sent the flowers, attempting to determine if Baird was in an exclusive relationship with another man.
Prosecutor Brett Hatfield questioned the accused about 'non-operational rounds' stolen from Miranda Police Station; Lamarre-Condon claimed they were for suicide, denying they were shell casings previously discussed.
Lamarre-Condon maintains he acted in self-defense regarding the February 19, 2024 deaths of Baird and Luke Davies, contradicting the Crown's allegation of premeditated murder driven by obsession.
