Accused killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly broke into Jesse Baird’s Paddington home months before double murder

A former police officer accused of murdering former Channel Ten presenter and AFL referee Jesse Baird allegedly broke into his home six months earlier to stalk the TV star, new court documents reveal.

Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, faces three new charges. Police allege he shot and killed Mr Baird and his friend, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, in Paddington, an eastern Sydney suburb, on February 19 in a domestic violence incident.

Police alleged the act stemmed from Mr. Lamarre-Condon’s previous relationship with Mr. Baird. Officers have now added a charge of aggravated burglary with intent, according to court documents seen by Nine newspapers on Thursday.

Lamarre-Condon is accused of breaking into Mr Baird’s home on August 17 last year to commit a serious crime, six months before the alleged murders.

The alleged offense is listed in the indictment as “stalking Jesse Baird.”

Police sources told Nine earlier this year that Baird had told friends in the months before his death that he had seen a shadowy figure at the foot of his bed late at night.

Lamarre-Condon’s attorney, John Walford, told the publication he was “a little surprised” about the burglary charge, but that he would “work it out.”

He added that his client is “hanging in there” as Lamarre-Condon enters his sixth month in custody.

“It’s a tough place, that’s the way it is,” Walford said.

Police allege Lamarre-Condon shot and killed Mr Baird, 26, and Mr Davies, 29, with his service pistol at Mr Baird’s home on February 19 and dumped their bodies in the NSW Southern Tablelands two days later.

Mr. Baird and Lamarre-Condon previously had an on-again, off-again relationship, as police called it, but Mr. Baird did not want a relationship.

Lamarre-Condon, who frequently posted photos of herself with international celebrities on social media, turned herself in to police on February 23.

After a brief court appearance that day, Lamarre-Condon was transferred to the maximum-security Metropolitan Remand and Reception Center, where he was placed in protective custody due to his status as a police officer.

Prison authorities also considered him potentially dangerous because he was accused of very serious crimes, had received a lot of media attention and had never been in prison before.

Police subsequently found the bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies on a property in Bungonia, about 180km south-west of Sydney.

Lamarre-Condon has been in protective custody for four months and is under constant guard at the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre in Silverwater, western Sydney.

It is reported that his mental condition is deteriorating.

“He’s not doing well at the moment,” a source close to the 28-year-old told Daily Mail Australia earlier this year.

“It’s clear that it’s started now – what’s happened and the allegations and where he is. I think the rot has set in mentally. He’s at a low point at the moment.

“He’s very down. He’s hit rock bottom.”

Prison authorities do not believe Lamarre-Condon is at particular risk of suicide, but his circumstances suggest he would be vulnerable in prison.

Lamarre-Condon has not yet filed a request.

His case will return to Downing Centre District Court on August 13.

The two domestic violence murder charges will replace the two original murder charges as the trial progresses.
