Coleen Lamarre, the mother of former senior constable and accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon, was granted bail in the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday. The 63-year-old grandmother of five, who also served in the police force, faced a charge of doing an act with the intent of perverting the course of justice. The charge stems from allegations that she attempted to persuade a witness in her son's trial to provide a false statement.
Lamarre has not yet entered a plea to the charge. During the bail hearing, she maintained a blank expression as the decision was read, but emotions ran high in the court gallery. Her son, Beau Lamarre-Condon, is scheduled to stand trial in the same court in September.
Details of the Alleged Murders
Lamarre-Condon is accused of fatally shooting TV presenter Jesse Baird and his flight attendant partner, Luke Davies, at their inner-city Sydney home in February 2024. He allegedly used his service pistol in the killings. Lamarre-Condon, who had a brief relationship with Baird, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder and aggravated break and enter.
Legal Proceedings Ahead
The case against Lamarre-Condon will return to court later in July. His mother's bail conditions were not immediately disclosed. The charges against Coleen Lamarre highlight the ongoing legal complexities surrounding the high-profile case.
