Accused denies misleading ex over alleged home break-in

Beau Lamarre-Condon denies deceiving Jesse Baird after allegedly breaking into his Sydney home on August 17, 2023.

The 31-year-old former police officer is on trial for the murders of TV presenter Baird and Luke Davies. He pleads self-defence.

Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of using a stolen key to enter Baird's home and jamming a bobby pin in the door to fake a break-in. Baird woke and chased the intruder out without realising who it was.

Lamarre-Condon admits he wanted to check Baird's phone. He claims he was invited inside and a key was left for him.

Under cross-examination on Thursday, he rejected the prosecutor's suggestion that he lied to others about what happened.
