Former officer feared Beau Lamarre-Condon after he cleaned blood from van
A former police officer told the NSW Supreme Court she feared Beau Lamarre-Condon might harm her after he arrived at her home and scrubbed blood from a van. She said he told her he had “done something bad” and asked her to look up Jesse Baird, whose disappearance was already in the news.
The witness, identified as Fiona Rosso for court reporting purposes, said she saw reports naming a police officer as a suspect and wanted to call Crime Stoppers, but feared provoking Lamarre-Condon. Justice Natalie Adams told the jury there was no evidence he intended to harm her. Lamarre-Condon denies two domestic violence-related murder charges and a break-and-enter charge; the trial is due to resume with further prosecution evidence.
