Former NSW police officer denies obsession with victim in double-murder trial
Former New South Wales police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon told a Supreme Court jury that he was not obsessed with victim Jesse Baird, countering prosecutors’ presentation of text messages suggesting a fixation. Earlier in the trial, Lamarre-Condon, who has pleaded not guilty to the 2024 murders of Baird and Luke Davies, took the stand to describe his relationship with the victims and the circumstances of the shootings.
He reiterated that his first shot at Baird’s shoulder was justified and denied any intent to kill, demonstrated a reenactment of the struggle, and denied claims that he remained calm on camera after the killings. Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC cross-examined him on the second day of the proceedings.
