What to know

  • Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former NSW police officer, is on trial pleading not guilty to murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in February 2024; he claims self-defence while the crown alleges a premeditated, execution-style killing.
  • Testimony has focused heavily on his behaviour in the days immediately after the alleged murders: cleaning blood from a van, evading police contact for four days, and sending casual texts and voice notes.
  • The most recent evidence (3 November) describes a police interview in which he cried, claimed PTSD, and told officers he was not a bad person.

“Hey hun … can you please contact the crime manager at eastern suburbs asap when you get a chance?”
