Cup of water beside ex’s bed fuelled accused Aus killer cop’s jealousy
The murder trial of ex-cop Beau Lamarre-Condon heard he was obsessively jealous of his ex Jesse Baird and allegedly discussed how to dispose of a body months before the killings.
Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to the murders of his ex-partner and TV presenter Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, suggesting he acted in self-defence.
A Supreme Court jury heard evidence that Beau Lamarre-Condon was consumed by jealousy over his ex-partner Jesse Baird's new relationship with Luke Davies.
A former police colleague testified that Lamarre-Condon once asked how he would dispose of a body, describing taking it to bushland where no one would find it.
Prosecutors allege Lamarre-Condon sent texts from Baird's phone after the men died to cover his tracks, while he has pleaded not guilty and claims self-defence.
