Friend says Lamarre-Condon tested surfboard bag size against him before alleged murders
A friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon told the NSW Supreme Court that Lamarre-Condon measured a surfboard bag against him while claiming he wanted to collect surfboards from his ex-boyfriend Jesse Baird’s home. Prosecutors allege he was checking whether the bag could hold a body; the evidence forms part of the trial over the deaths of Baird and his partner, Luke Davies.
The friend said Lamarre-Condon bought a large bag for $85 at a Decathlon store in Miranda on 16 February 2024. He also testified that Lamarre-Condon allegedly fired his police-issued gun in the Royal National Park and, three days later, said he had killed people and asked for help cleaning up. Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of break and enter.
