A tragic and shocking case has recently unfolded in Sydney, Australia. A police officer, Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, has been accused of the murders of two individuals, including his former love interest. The victims have been identified as 29-year-old Qantas flight attendant, Luke Davies, and 26-year-old TV presenter, Jessie Baird.
According to reports, the 28-year-old senior constable allegedly used his police service weapon to fatally shoot the two men at Baird's home in the inner-city suburb of Paddington on February 19. The incident occurred while Lamarre-Condon was off-duty. It is believed that the attack was carefully planned and came after a prolonged period of "predatory behavior" towards Baird, whom the accused had previously dated.
In a court hearing at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court, Lamarre-Condon's lawyer, John Walford, agreed to an eight-week adjournment of the case. The defendant himself did not appear in court. Crown Prosecutor Brendan Donnelly requested more time to finalize the charges against Lamarre-Condon, which was granted by Magistrate Daniel Covington.
During the hearing, Davies' family listened in via audio-link from Queensland. Outside the court, Walford informed reporters that he would receive the evidence brief later in the day. However, it was still too early for Lamarre-Condon to enter a plea. Walford also stated that his client was coping in custody, but the situation was difficult for everyone involved.
When asked about a possible mental health defense or the likelihood of the case going to trial, Walford replied that it was too early to determine. The bodies of the victims were discovered on February 27, inside surfboard bags on a rural property near Goulburn, approximately 200km southwest of Sydney. Lamarre-Condon had already been charged with two counts of murder before the bodies were found.
Authorities became suspicious of the victims' well-being after their belongings were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla. This led police to Baird's share house, where blood was discovered. It has been revealed that Lamarre-Condon joined the NSW Police Force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, where he had taken photos with numerous A-listers, including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Harry Styles. He was subsequently fired from his position in the force in March.
The case is set to return to court on August 13, where more details about the tragic incident are expected to be revealed. This is a heartbreaking and devastating event for all those involved, and we can only hope that justice will be served for the victims and their families.
