Beau Lamarre-Condon’s estranged dad breaks his silence over his son’s arrest as details emerge about family’s backstory including sister’s life-changing fight with the cops
The father of alleged double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon has broken his silence three days after police found the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies dumped in bushland.
Raymond Condon – a security guard in NSW’s northern rivers region – separated from Lamarre-Condon’s mother, Coleen, when the accused double murderer was in primary school.
Daily Mail Australia has been told Mr Condon has had a strained relationship with the NSW Police chief constable, who lived with his mother and later his uncle.
Speaking at his home in Bray Park, near Murwillumbah on the Tweed River, Mr Condon told Daily Mail Australia ‘I haven’t spoken to Beau yet, no’ since he was arrested and charged with the murders of Baird, 26, and Davies, 29.

It comes as new details emerged about the police career of Jamila Lamarre-Condon, who, like her brother, joined the NSW Police Force and worked as a radio communicator until her dismissal.
He declined to comment on claims from multiple sources that the couple was estranged.
Mr Condon’s response comes after new details emerged about Beau’s sister, Jamila.
Like Beau, Jamila Lamarre-Condon is a former celebrity hunter who posed for selfies with singers and actors and then joined the police force.
The Hollywood-obsessed siblings spent years hounding stars to post photos on social media before Beau became a police officer and his sister joined as a radio communicator.
They followed the path of their mother, who is also a former NSW Police officer.
But Ms Lamarre-Condon’s career with the NSW Police would come to an unhappy end long before her brother’s police career ended.
Documents obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Jamila unsuccessfully sued police for compensation after being fired from her job for refusing to be vaccinated against Covid.

In her failed unfair dismissal claim, Ms Lamarre-Condon, who had a child she breastfed during the Covid pandemic, refused then-Commissioner Mick Fuller’s order to be vaccinated.
In September 2021, the commissioner ordered all members of the police force to receive the vaccine and Ms Lamarre-Condon had ‘not presented a medical contraindication certificate nor requested an exemption’.
However, Ms Lamarre-Condon believed the commissioner’s decision “endangered her life and health” and was not lawful as “the evidence shows that the COVID-19 vaccines are neither safe nor effective.”
She accused Fuller of being “negligent, intimidating and reckless” when he tried to force her to get vaccinated.
After her job was terminated in March 2022, Ms Lamarre-Condon initiated legal proceedings, arguing that her dismissal was ‘harsh, unreasonable or unjust’ and seeking reinstatement and compensation.
She said the termination was harsh because she and her partner were “now unemployed with a small baby and struggling financially, with their only source of income being Commonwealth Government parenting payments.”
In November 2022, Ms Lamarre-Condon represented herself at a NSW Industrial Relations Commission hearing, where the commissioner found her “an extremely effective advocate” and good at cross-examining witnesses for Mr Fuller.
Commissioner Janet McDonald, however, found that “she was not nearly as impressive as a witness.

“At various times she was evasive and reluctant to make any concessions that she believed might be detrimental to her case,” Ms McDonald found.
‘My general impression of the applicant as a witness was that she was a subterfuge.’
Ms Lamarre-Condon objected to being fired ‘on her birthday’, arguing that ‘at the age of 25 she had undergone 13 weeks of intensive training to secure her role’.
She also said she was “just starting what she hoped would be a long career with the NSW Police Force”.
However, Commissioner McDonald rejected Ms Lamarre-Condon’s application, ruling that she had ‘failed to argue that her dismissal was harsh, unjust or unreasonable’.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest Ms Lamarre-Condon had any involvement or knowledge of her brother’s alleged murder of Mr Baird and Mr Davies, or of his alleged disposal of their bodies.
Since Beau Lamarre-Condon was arrested a week ago, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb has started the process of firing the alleged double murderer from the force.
Beau’s lawyer John Walford – a former police officer and prosecutor – broke his silence to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, revealing his client is doing ‘fine’ behind bars.
“I’ve been to his place and seen him a few times,” Mr Walford told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I don’t have any instructions for it at the moment, it’s too early.
