Story summary

The trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer in Sydney, began on February 5, 2026, for allegedly murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies with his service firearm inside Baird's home in Paddington. Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of aggravated break and enter. The court heard that Lamarre-Condon had an obsessive infatuation with Baird, whom he had previously dated but was later rejected by. This led to alleged stalking behavior which left Baird "petrified" and concerned about Lamarre-Condon's access to a gun.
