Recording reveals Beau Lamarre-Condon’s account of events before two deaths
A court has heard a recording in which Beau Lamarre-Condon described entering Jesse Baird’s home and said events “went wrong” before Baird and Luke Davies died. The recording was released as part of Lamarre-Condon’s trial, where he has pleaded guilty to Baird’s manslaughter but denies responsibility for Davies’ death; the case also concerns the alleged concealment of both men’s bodies.
The 50-minute conversation with an unnamed friend took place in December 2024, ten months after the alleged killings. The friend previously told the court that Lamarre-Condon said he had killed people on the day of the alleged crime and asked for help cleaning up; CCTV showed them buying a surfboard bag days earlier. In a police statement read in court, Lamarre-Condon also claimed that another friend discouraged him from going to police and described showing her Baird’s head.
In short
- A jail recording of Lamarre-Condon was released in court.
- He admitted pleading guilty to Baird’s manslaughter but denies killing Davies.
- The trial has also heard claims about friends’ roles after the deaths.
