Accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon launched a dramatic outburst in a Sydney courtroom this morning, accusing NSW Police of “serious misconduct and corruption” and vowing that he “will not be silenced.”
Lamarre-Condon, appearing via audio-video link from custody, interrupted proceedings shortly after his pleas were confirmed to address the court directly.
“Sorry your Honour, I just would like to respectfully say this, so the following is noted on the court transcript, so the [Director of Public Prosecutions] cannot deny having no knowledge of this,” Lamarre-Condon said.
“Whilst in the local court, I made a formal offer to the DPP of guilty to one count of manslaughter relating to Jesse Baird and Jesse Baird only,” he continued.
“I want this noted on the court transcript so if I’m convicted of this offence at trial, it was known I did take accountability from the very start. I am remorseful, and I’m also entitled to my early plea discount.”
The accused former NSW Police officer also voiced strong opposition to any suppression orders, insisting on his right to speak openly. On the public record, he said he wished to “expose serious misconduct and corruption” by investigators.
Lamarre-Condon told the court that if the Director of Public Prosecutions or NSW Police “request to have a closed court or a suppression order put in place” he would strongly oppose it.
“Not only do I want the public to know the actual truth of what happened, but I want them to know about the serious misconduct and corruption NSW Police investigators have engaged in during the investigation process,” he said, adding that the DPP was “partly complicit.”
He concluded: “The truth will always prevail, and I will not be silenced. Thank you.”
Pleas and Allegations
Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to the alleged domestic violence-related murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, as well as to a charge of aggravated break and enter.
Police allege that on 19 February he broke into Baird’s Paddington home and shot Baird and Davies using his service weapon. Their bodies were allegedly hidden in surfboard bags and dumped at a rural property in Bungonia.
The brief of evidence presented to the court reportedly contains statements from more than 200 witnesses, although not all are expected to testify at trial.
The case has faced multiple delays, with Lamarre-Condon changing legal representation several times since his arrest. In July 2025, his second defence team formally withdrew, prompting another shift in counsel just before earlier appearances.
The trial is currently scheduled for 21 September 2026 in the NSW Supreme Court. Prosecutors have resisted further delays, stating the Crown is “ready to proceed to trial” after months of negotiations.
As of today, no suppression orders have been granted.
