EXCLUSIVE Beau Lamarre-Condon, cop charged with killing Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, makes offer to police about 'who else' was allegedly involved: 'Two sets of white overalls'
The former policeman charged with murdering a television presenter and his partner says he has offered to provide information about a second person who he claims helped dispose of the bodies. Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of shooting dead Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, at Paddington in Sydney 's eastern suburbs in February 2024. The 29-year-old is further alleged to have bundled the couple's bodies into surfboard bags before dumping them at a rural property in the Southern Tablelands. A source close to Lamarre-Condon has now revealed the alleged killer has offered to provide information about another person he says was involved with disposing of the bodies to police and prosecutors. 'Lamarre-Condon wants to do the right thing for the families and is happy to assist investigators with information about who else played a part in the incident,' the source said. 'So far both the DPP and the officer in charge have failed to reply to the offer made by Lamarre's legal team for assistance.' The source claimed that a witness had told investigators they had waited at the fence line of the Bungonia property where the bodies were found for 15 to 20 minutes. Phone records indicated Lamarre-Condon and the witness were at the farm for almost two hours, the source claimed. 'Police also located two sets of white overalls at the scene where bodies were located which indicates it was a two-person job,' the source said. NSW Police and the DPP have been contacted for comment. Lamarre-Condon has spent more than a year in prison since the shootings, which were allegedly the result of a months-long campaign of 'predatory behaviour' targeting Mr Baird. The onetime celebrity chaser reportedly briefly dated Mr Baird before the TV presenter began a relationship with Mr Davies. Suspicions of foul play were raised after possessions belonging to the dead men were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla, leading police to Mr Baird's blood-smeared terrace. The case returned to Downing Centre Local Court last month after confidential discussions between prosecutors and the alleged killer's Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick. Both sides agreed 'things are progressing,' magistrate Megan Greenwood was told. A forensic psychiatrist's report was also tendered after Lamarre-Condon was assessed in previous weeks. Lamarre-Condon has not entered pleas to two counts of domestic violence-related murder, and one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. He was sacked by the NSW Police Force in March 2024. Lamarre-Condon joined the force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles. He is expected to appear via an audiovisual link on June 17.
