Nicole Harvell, a senior constable who knew Beau Lamarre-Condon for less than a year, testified at the NSW Supreme Court that Lamarre-Condon frequently discussed his on-off relationship with Jesse Baird during their shifts together. After seeing Lamarre-Condon’s name in the news regarding the alleged murders of Baird and Luke Davies, Harvell texted him asking if he was okay. She approached her superiors with information she thought could be relevant to the case. Lamarre-Condon is charged with two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of aggravated break and enter but has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Story summary
Beau Lamarre-Condon, who is on trial for allegedly murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, was a friend of Senior Constable Nicole Harvell. According to Harvell's testimony at the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday, she first met Lamarre-Condon in early 2023 when he started discussing his relationship with Jesse Baird. They worked together during a shift at the Laneway Festival, where Lamarre-Condon asked Harvell about identifying shooters if there was a shootout; she replied that bullets can be traced back to their firearm, which surprised him.
Harvell noted that around 80% of their conversations over their first six-hour shift were about Baird. Over the next year, Lamarre-Condon frequently texted Harvell for advice on his relationship with Baird and other minor interactions. When she saw Lamarre-Condon's name in the news regarding the murders, she immediately messaged him to ask if he was okay.
