The defence lawyer for former New South Wales police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon has requested phone records that could shed light on his movements at the time of the alleged double murder of TV presenter Jesse Baird and flight attendant Luke Davies.
Lamarre-Condon, 29, is charged with two counts of murder after the bodies of Baird, 26, and Davies, 29, were found in surfboard bags at a rural property in Bungonia, near Goulburn, in February 2024. He is accused of shooting them with his service weapon at Baird's home in Paddington.
At a hearing at Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday, Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick said she was seeking Cellebrite reports – data extracted from mobile phones by police, including location information, internet browsing history, text messages and call logs – related to her client's phone. Police did not oppose handing over Lamarre-Condon's records, but some issues remain regarding records of others allegedly involved.
Magistrate Greg Grogin ordered that the documents be produced for the court to rule on what is permissible, stating: “Documentation should be produced in the court and not withheld. Let’s get some documentation that can be produced for the defendant as and when it becomes available. Let’s get this thing moving.”
Lamarre-Condon faces two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. Police allege the attack was premeditated after a months-long campaign of predatory behaviour targeting Baird, whom Lamarre-Condon briefly dated. Lamarre-Condon was sacked from the NSW police force in March.
