Lamarre-Condon denies entering Baird’s home to steal his phone
Beau Lamarre-Condon has denied breaking into Jesse Baird’s home to steal his phone and wallet, telling the NSW Supreme Court he was invited to stay overnight. He has pleaded not guilty to the break-and-enter charge and to two counts of domestic violence-related murder over the deaths of Baird and Luke Davies.
Lamarre-Condon said he entered Baird’s Paddington home on 17 August 2023 because he wanted to check Baird’s phone for evidence he was seeing someone else. He said he planned to make the entry look like a break-in, but Baird woke and chased him outside; Baird later reported the incident without identifying him. The trial has also heard questions about Lamarre-Condon’s relationship with Baird and his claims of past entertainment-industry connections.
In short
- Lamarre-Condon denies breaking into Baird’s home to steal his phone.
- He says he was invited to stay the night.
- He also denies two murder charges over Baird and Davies’s deaths.
