Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, who is on trial for the alleged murder of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in February 2024, reportedly used his childhood friend Shae Davison’s Instagram account to send a deceptive message claiming he had cancer. The court documents state that Lamarre-Condon sent this fabricated message after his relationship with Baird ended, attempting to guilt-trip Davison into sending it for him. The message falsely claimed Lamarre-Condon needed to visit Westmead Hospital due to a cancerous tumor in his shoulder and suggested possible amputation, though prosecutors assert he has no such diagnosis.

Story summary
Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is on trial for two counts of domestic violence-related murder over the alleged shooting deaths of Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29, on February 19, 2024. He also faces one count of aggravated break and enter from an incident in August 2023 when he allegedly broke into Baird's home in Paddington to steal his phone and wallet.
Prosecutors claim that after their relationship ended in 2023, Lamarre-Condon became obsessed with Baird and tried various methods to contact him. One such attempt involved sending a fake cancer diagnosis message from the Instagram account of his childhood friend, Shae Davison, without her knowledge or consent. The message spanned over 1,600 words sent in multiple parts due to Instagram's word limit.
During court proceedings, Ms. Davison testified that Lamarre-Condon guilted her into letting him send the message but did not allow her to read its contents first. The trial highlights the alleged manipulative behavior of Lamarre-Condon and his efforts to maintain contact with Baird despite their relationship having ended.
