A new love, an old obsession and the final weeks of Jesse Baird's life
The first week of Beau Lamarre-Condon's murder trial focused on what Jesse Baird told relatives, friends and colleagues about the former police officer, and what the accused said to his friends or colleagues about Mr Baird.
Helen Baird, mother of Jesse Baird, described the recent memory of receiving a photo from her son with a message that Luke Davies had become his boyfriend in early 2024. The two had been smitten with each other, according to Helen's observations during a visit to Melbourne weeks earlier. At that point, it was the beginning of their relationship, and they were great together, she told the NSW Supreme Court.
