A court hearing is scheduled where the former police officer from NSW, Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, will have to make a decision on whether he will contest the allegations against him for the murder of two individuals, one of whom he had previously been in a relationship with.
The 29-year-old is set to enter his pleas on Tuesday for charges that include two counts of murder. The victims, 29-year-old Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies and 26-year-old TV presenter Jesse Baird, were discovered by the police in February. The case is being brought before the Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney.
According to the allegations, Lamarre-Condon used his service weapon to shoot the two men at Baird's home in the inner-city before attempting to dispose of their bodies. It is believed that the attack was premeditated, following a series of targeted actions towards Baird, whom the accused had a brief relationship with. At the time of the incident, Baird was in a new relationship with Davies.
The former senior constable is facing charges of domestic violence-related murder, as well as one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. The suspicious discovery of the victims' belongings in a skip bin in Cronulla, a suburb in southern Sydney, led the police to Baird's blood-stained share house in Paddington.
The bodies of the couple were eventually found on February 27, inside surfboard bags at a rural property in Bungonia, near Goulburn, around 200km away from Sydney. In mid-March, Lamarre-Condon was dismissed from his position in the NSW Police Force.
Prior to joining the force in 2019, the accused ran a popular celebrity blog, where he could be seen posing in photos with many A-listers such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Harry Styles.
