Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is a former senior constable. He has pleaded not guilty to murdering his ex-partner Jesse Baird and Baird's new boyfriend Luke Davies in February 2024.

She told the NSW Supreme Court she had no memory of him mentioning Baird in the three months before the deaths. She was in almost daily contact with him during that time.
