Beau Lamarre-Condon denies planning to 'assassinate' ex-partner
The former police officer rejects that he "executed" Jesse Baird and deliberately shot the television presenter's new boyfriend.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer, has denied allegations that he planned to assassinate his ex-partner, Jesse Baird, and intentionally shoot television presenter Luke Davies. The 31-year-old has been in the witness box at his double-murder trial since Thursday, maintaining that he acted in self-defense during the shootings that occurred in a Paddington share house on February 19, 2024.
During the trial, the Crown prosecutor questioned Lamarre-Condon about his intention to kill Baird, to which he responded that he never intended to execute the ex-partner. The trial, which has been ongoing for seven weeks at the NSW Supreme Court in Sydney, also heard about Lamarre-Condon's mental health struggles, including a suicide attempt in October 2023.
