The former NSW police officer is standing trial on two counts of murder over the shooting deaths of Baird, 26, and Davies, 29, in Paddington on February 19, 2024. He has pleaded not guilty.
On Tuesday the 15-person jury heard evidence from NSW Police Senior Sergeant James Woodbury, co-ordinator of the weapons and defensive tactics training unit. Woodbury said the live-fire training program typically involved participants shooting at multiple targets, shooting at close and further distances, reloading their pistol and fixing any stoppages.
A sign-in sheet showed participant number two at the session as "Beau Lamarre", though Woodbury was not personally in attendance, the court heard.
There is no dispute that Lamarre-Condon was at the Paddington terrace when the two men died, that they died of gunshot wounds from his police-issued pistol, and that he was disguised as a delivery rider. There is also no dispute that he disposed of their bodies in surfboard bags.
The prosecution case is that Lamarre-Condon planned to kill Baird, a former Network Ten producer and presenter, after developing an "obsessive and jealous infatuation" with him that escalated when Baird ended their casual relationship in November 2023. The prosecution alleges he killed Davies, a Qantas flight attendant and Baird's new boyfriend, to eliminate a witness.
However, the defence case is that Lamarre-Condon went to the Paddington home to pick up some of his belongings and did not expect anyone to be there. A struggle ensued in which his gun accidentally went off twice, killing Baird, and Davies was accidentally shot.
