A court has heard that former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon told a friend he would hide the bodies of anyone he killed in bushland and dispose of their belongings in a bin, months before he allegedly murdered Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, according to The Guardian.
Lamarre-Condon, 31, has pleaded not guilty to murdering the couple, who prosecutors allege were fatally shot with a police service weapon at Baird's home in Paddington on 19 February 2024.
Details from the trial
The conversation described to the court reportedly took place nine months before the alleged killings, according to the friend's account presented as part of the prosecution's case. The trial is ongoing, with further testimony expected as proceedings continue.
The case has drawn significant public attention in Australia given Lamarre-Condon's background as a serving police officer at the time of the alleged offenses.
