Former NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon accused of double murder heads back to court
A police officer accused of murdering two men including his former partner will have his case returned to court before a magistrate.
Beaumont Lamarre-Condon is yet to enter a plea after being charged with the murders of Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, and TV presenter Jessie Baird, 26.
Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot the men with his service weapon at Mr Baird’s inner-city Paddington home on February 19 while the 28-year-old then-senior constable was off-duty.

His case is due for mention in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court today.
The couple’s bodies were found on February 27 inside surfboard bags at the fence line of a rural property in Bungonia, near Goulburn, about 200km southwest of Sydney.
Lamarre-Condon had been charged with two counts of murder before the two bodies were found.
The suspicion that they were dead was sparked after possessions belonging to the men were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla, leading police to Mr Baird’s blood-smeared share house.
Lamarre-Condon’s lawyer John Walford told media outside his last court hearing in April that the ex-officer was doing it “a bit tough” in custody.
Mr Walford did not say how Lamarre-Condon would plead to the charges.
“It’s a bit tough for him at the moment,” he said.
Lamarre-Condon joined the NSW Police Force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
He was sacked from the force in mid-March.
