Beau Lamarre-Condon Told Ex-Colleague He Had 'Done Something Bad', Jury Told

Beau Lamarre-Condon confessed to a former colleague that he had "done something bad" during an unscheduled visit days after the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, a jury heard.

The NSW Supreme Court heard evidence from the former colleague, granted the court pseudonym Fiona Rosso, as the prosecution continued detailing the former officer’s erratic movements in the aftermath of the killings. ABC News NSW reported that Ms Rosso recalled the unexpected arrival of Lamarre-Condon at her residence in late February, an encounter that left her profoundly unsettled.

Unannounced Visit in Wake of Killings

Ms Rosso told the jury that the accused stopped by her home without warning at a time when investigators across Sydney were frantically seeking information regarding the whereabouts of the two men. According to reporting by ABC News NSW, Ms Rosso described the visit as unusual and noted that Lamarre-Condon appeared agitated during their brief conversation.

During the exchange, the accused allegedly dropped his guard to utter the cryptic remark that he had done something bad, without offering further specifics regarding the nature or scale of his actions. Ms Rosso told the court she was not fully aware at the time of the unfolding crisis or the severe allegations that would soon emerge surrounding him.

Cryptic Words Under Scrutiny

Crown prosecutors contend that the admission forms a vital link in the timeline between the fatal shootings and Lamarre-Condon’s eventual surrender to authorities. The Crown alleges that the former senior constable used his police-issued service weapon to murder television presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, inside Mr Baird’s terrace house in Paddington before attempting an elaborate cover-up.

Ms Rosso testified that while Lamarre-Condon seemed troubled, he departed shortly after making the brief admission. The jury heard that she did not press him extensively on the matter, unaware of the gravity of the circumstances developing across the city.

Critical Movements Preceding Surrender

The court has been tracing the accused man's movements throughout late February, when the double homicide investigation escalated following the discovery of bloodied clothing and personal possessions belonging to the victims in a Cronulla skip bin.

ABC News NSW reported that detectives piecing together the timeline believe the visit to Ms Rosso's home occurred while Lamarre-Condon was travelling across Sydney and regional New South Wales. Days after the alleged conversation, Lamarre-Condon handed himself in to Bondi Police Station, later directing officers to a rural property near Bungonia where the bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies were discovered concealed inside surfboard bags.

Trial Examines State of Mind

Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, with the defence expected to focus on his mental state and level of criminal intent during the critical days in question.

The prosecution continues to rely on witness testimony, mobile phone records, and surveillance footage to establish that the accused acted with premeditation and attempted to evade detection before confessing parts of his conduct to those in his immediate orbit. The trial continues before the jury in Sydney.
