Detective Chief Inspector Glenn Brown is heard telling Lamarre-Condon, as he enters Bondi police station on February 23, 2024: "You are under arrest in respect of the murder of two people at Paddington." The then 28-year-old, at the time a NSW police officer, handed himself in shortly after 10.30am. The arrest footage and audio of a call he made minutes earlier were released by the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday after being played to the 15-person jury.
On the drive to the station, Lamarre-Condon called a police assistance line to report a workplace injury, claiming he had been traumatised and bullied at work. In the call he said: "Just so you're not shocked, my name's Beau Lamarre." He alleged he had been "exposed to multiple destruction, death and trauma with minimal support" from police and "bullied by multiple NSW Police Force members", and said the trauma had caused him symptoms of schizophrenia. He then asked the operator to "delete that whole thing". Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield, SC, told the jury he expected evidence that Lamarre-Condon had "never been prescribed medication for schizophrenia".
Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder over the shooting deaths of Baird, 26, a former Network Ten producer and presenter, and Davies, 29, a Qantas flight attendant, on February 19, 2024. The defence does not dispute that both men died of gunshot wounds from his police-issued Glock pistol, nor that he cleaned the home and disposed of their bodies. Police found the bodies at Bungonia, near Goulburn, on February 27.
The Crown alleges Lamarre-Condon plotted to kill Baird after developing an obsessive and jealous infatuation with him, and killed Davies to eliminate a witness. The defence says he acted in self-defence after entering Baird's home in disguise to retrieve his belongings, with Baird dying when the gun went off during a struggle and Davies shooting himself during a second struggle.
The jury also heard a covertly recorded prison conversation. In December 2025, Lamarre-Condon told a friend who visited him in prison, wearing a listening device to assist police, that he had entered Baird's home disguised as an Uber Eats delivery driver and had caused Baird's death but did not intend to hurt anyone. He said he had used a key Baird gave him to enter the home, and that he had pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The trial continues.
