Story summary

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old former NSW Police Officer, is testifying in his double murder trial at the Sydney Supreme Court. On November 5, 2026, and continuing into November 6, he stated that he heard homophobic abuse while working for NSW police and denied intentionally killing Jesse Baird but admitted it was his fault. Lamarre-Condon, who is accused of fatally shooting Baird and his partner Luke Davies with a Glock pistol in February 2024, claimed the first two shots were not intended to kill Baird but rather stemmed from fear during an encounter where Baird had a knife. He also described a sexual relationship with Baird in late 2022 before it ended. The trial has heard evidence suggesting Lamarre-Condon took steps to avoid recognition when he approached Baird's home, indicating prior planning of the event.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
