Former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon shows injuries on hands after surrender
During the NSW Supreme Court trial, photographs revealed cuts and abrasions on Beau Lamarre-Condon's hands following his arrest for the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old former police officer charged with the murders of TV presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies, appeared before a jury in the NSW Supreme Court. The trial, in which Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty and claims self-defence, included testimony from NSW Police Senior Sergeant Deborah Wilson about his communications with police and a close friend in the days after the February 19 killings.
Sergeant Wilson said she was asked by colleagues to contact Lamarre-Condon on February 22 after he stopped answering calls. When he returned her call, he told her police were calling about “missing persons” and the deaths of Baird and Davies, not an internal inquiry. She later learned the victims were missing and attempted to reach him again, eventually contacting a friend of his for a welfare check.
According to court evidence, Lamarre-Condon told the friend he had “killed people” and made a gun-like hand gesture. The friend reported the statement to police, after which Lamarre-Condon turned himself in at Bondi police station on February 23. A recording of his call to a police helpline showed him describing “trauma” and “psychological abuse” before surrendering.
Court-released footage captured his arrival at the station, and photographs later disclosed cuts, scrapes and abrasions on his hands. The trial continues as the jury considers the evidence.
