Former Sydney police officer allegedly told friend he shot two people and asked for help cleaning up, court told

Summary

Former Sydney police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is on trial over the fatal shootings of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, whom he is accused of killing with his police service weapon in Baird's Paddington home on 19 February 2024. A friend giving evidence told the jury that in early 2024 Lamarre-Condon said 'I shot the first one through the head and the second one through the door', described it as an 'out-of-body experience', and then tried to play it off as a joke. The friend also said Lamarre-Condon told him he had shot two people and asked for help cleaning up his 'mess'. These allegations were made in court and have not been tested by the jury.
