- The Guardian reported that a court heard voice notes sent by Beau Lamarre-Condon, a police officer, in the days after he allegedly killed two men in a Sydney terrace. The recordings were sent to a man Lamarre-Condon had met on a dating app, the report said.

In one of the voice notes, Lamarre-Condon said he was trying to "get back into a positive mindset," The Guardian reported. The recordings were played to the jury, the report said, and its summary does not say how many voice notes were played.

The Guardian also reported that in one recording Lamarre-Condon states that he is in bed and not feeling the best.

The Guardian described the killings as alleged. Its summary does not report a verdict, and it does not give the dates the voice notes were sent, the number of recordings, or the stage the trial has reached.

The Guardian's summary identifies the man who received the recordings only as someone Lamarre-Condon met on a dating app, and it gives no further detail about the two men who died or about the circumstances of the alleged killings. Kat Wong wrote the report for The Guardian.

The Guardian's headline frames the material as voice notes heard in court, and the summary's opening lines place the recordings in the days after the alleged killings.

This account draws on that single report, and no other source was used. No differing accounts are reported here.
