Beau Lamarre-Condon used friend to help fake cancer diagnosis before alleged double murder, court told
The former NSW police officer, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, allegedly staged the diagnosis months before the killings.
A former New South Wales police officer accused of murdering two men allegedly enlisted a friend to help him fake a cancer diagnosis months before the killings, a Sydney court has heard.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is accused of fatally shooting Jesse Baird, 26, and his partner Luke Davies, 29, with a police service weapon at Baird's home in the Sydney suburb of Paddington on 19 February 2024.
According to evidence presented in court, Lamarre-Condon pressured the friend into helping him fabricate the cancer diagnosis, reportedly in an effort to explain erratic behaviour in the lead-up to the alleged killings.
Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges.
The trial continues, with further evidence expected to be presented regarding the circumstances surrounding the alleged double murder.
