SYDNEY - Former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon entered the witness box in a Sydney double murder trial, according to The Guardian's live coverage. The outlet's report, presented as live trial updates, says Lamarre-Condon is now giving evidence in the case.
The Guardian reported that the 31-year-old is accused of fatally shooting a couple, Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, in Sydney in 2024. The report presents these as accusations, and the material reviewed for this story does not indicate any verdict or ruling in the case.
According to The Guardian, Lamarre-Condon has accused his former supervisor of making "homophobic remarks" while he was an openly gay police officer. The summary does not say when the remarks were made, what they consisted of, or how the supervisor responded to the claim.
The Guardian's summary of the live coverage is partial. It ends mid-quotation, so the outlet's full account of Lamarre-Condon's evidence cannot be confirmed from the material available for this story. The report is credited to reporter Kat Wong, and it describes the case as high-profile.
No other outlet's account was part of the reporting for this story, so no conflicting versions of the events are available to compare. The sources reviewed here describe only the witness appearance, the accusations against Lamarre-Condon, and his claims about his former supervisor, and they leave the remaining details of the trial unstated.
